This one's going to need rebased, as there are some conflicting of_node
changes in l2-mtd.git.

Also, this is going to be hard to manage across trees, as you touch
three drivers all at once. Is it not possible to split any of this apart
better?

The latest l2-mtd.git changed how the partitions' of_node is passed. Now
this is handled by nand_set_flash_node().

I'm a little confused here. Do you have a mixed platform data / device
tree setup here? That's odd. (It also seems if that was really
necessary, you could have the board file set pdev->dev.of_node before
registering it, then you don't need this field.) But really, if you're
partly using device tree, can't you just convert completely? Or is this
a two-phase process, and you're planning to convert omap2 to full device
tree?

Al right. I'll rebase on top of l2-mtd.git

Will need some more effort and I can do it. Butm if we're going to start
an with immutable branch with everything in, is it worth the effort?

The existing device tree implementation for omap2-nand was like this:
omap-gpmc.c driver was creating a platform device for the nand device and
passing the device node via platform data.

After this series we no longer do this and that's why of_node is marked
deprecated in platform data. I might as well could just get rid of it
but wasn't sure of how we're going to integrate the changes into the
subsystem trees so just marked it deprecated.

I don't think I noticed the "everything in it" part. I was assuming
you'd have non-MTD changes in the immutable branch, and MTD stuff on
top. But that is indeed more difficult. I'm fine with everything going
in one branch, and pulling that all into MTD.

Then the hangup is that you'll need to have some of l2-mtd.git in that
branch as a prerequisite, if you're going to rebase. Or else I have to
fix it up when merging back into l2-mtd.git...

Whoops, sorry I didn't read the "deprecated" header there this time. I
thought the movement was odd. *facepalm*

But yes, especially if we're putting everything in one branch, it'd be
more clear to simply kill off things instead of marking things
deprecated. It's especially confusing, since you're actually still using
the field.
