I'm going to grovel at somestage to the ts72xx.c maintainer to see if I can 
ask him to look at my take on the NAND driver.  At least for the 72xx and 
7800 SBC's the NAND driver is identical except for some cheesy DMA and 
hardware accelerated ECC support in the 7800 that I know of.

My variation of the driver moves the platform specific bits out of the NAND 
driver into the platform dependent code where things should be.  This is done 
with a pointer to a function so that the platform code decides what the 
partition table is to look at.

Anyone tinkering with their own code for the TS ARM platforms here I plan to 
grovel to as well (let me know who you are) in hope I can encourage to look 
at my NAND driver so that there is less duplication of work; work that might 
be platform dependent.

I'm packed out with work this week but hope to return to my ARM tinkerings 
next weekend.  I'll be looking at the HW ECC/DMA support of the other 7000 
series boards to add support for those to my NAND driver.

First thing I have to do is get DMA support working reliably though.

Cheers

Alex
