[PATCH v5 2/2] mtd: rawnand: use bit-wise majority to recover the contents of ONFI parameter

Thu May 10 14:37:19 PDT 2018

Hi Boris,

I've sent v6 of the patch based on your comments.

Thanks.
Jane

[Jane] Added the changelogs in v6.

[Jane] Removed.

[Jane] changed as above in v6.

[Jane] Changed as you suggested to support non-contiguous srcbufs.

[Jane] changed the variables to cnt and val in v6.  The "m" was for majority, now changed to cnt (counts for 1s).

[Jane]  Changed as suggested in v6.  Thanks.

[Jane]  Changed in v6.  Thanks.
