[U-Boot] [PATCH] MTD: Change cfi-mtd to accept non-uniform sector sizes

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Wed Mar 18 11:17:37 CET 2009


With this patch non-uniform NOR FLASH chips (chips with multiple erase
regions) can be exported via the cfi-mtd layer and therefor used by UBI.
We select the largest sector size as erasesize. The cfi driver will make
sure that the smaller sectors are handled correctly.
