Is that ok? Well I'm thinking that you just basically need something like this in gpmc.c: int gpmc_prefetch_request(int cs); int gpmc_prefetch_enable(int cs); int gpmc_prefetch_reset(int cs); ... And gpmc_prefetch_request would then return an error if already taken. No need then to tinker with the GPMC prefetch registers in the NAND driver. > > > >> And then there are prefetch start, stop and status functions calls have been > >> provided to be used by NAND driver. > > > > These should really be done in the platform init code for the NAND driver. > > The NAND driver really should be generic, not omap specific. > > Are you talking about different omap versions or omap itself, I am bit confused. This NAND driver is > omap specific only. I guess I'm talking in generic terms. What's under drivers/* should in the long run be device independent code, and the platform specific code should be under arch/arm/*omap*.
