Hi,

Returning back to the NAND support for the TS7xxx platforms that I have 
neglected for too long and really want to get pushed mainline.  I was 
hoping someone with some time could try my 'generic' NAND driver that 
should work both with the TS-7800 (no DMA though) and with the TS-72x0
series.  I have the TS-7800 so that I can check with no problems, of 
course I need those of you

For a suitable test you can refer to a previous posting of mine:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/11773?var=0&l=1

To get a copy, it's probably best to pull my git tree[1]:

$ git clone git://git.wormnet.eu/alex/ts78xx.git
$ cd ts78xx
$ git checkout origin/nand

>From there you can start with ep93xx_defconfig and when you look in 
Drivers->MTD->NAND you should see the TS7xxx driver.  In theory you 
should be able to flip between the two on a booted system, as long as 
none of your NAND partitions are mounted, of course in practise this 
might not be so straight forward.

If you can see if you can see any bugs or differences between the two 
drivers I would be very interested to hear from you.  In theory you 
should notice no differences at all.

Bear in mind that on a mounted NAND, the test I mentioned in my previous 
posting might come back with a couple of different md5sum results as the 
contents of the NAND change, however the majority should be identical so 
do not worry if some come back differently (use 'diff' on the resulting 
md5sum outputs to look for differences).

Cheers

        you need from http://stuff.digriz.org.uk/ts7xxx-nand/
