Ummm... what makes you think that this is  a  complete  list  of  all
"supported ARM development boards"?

The comment is misleading (only a few boards are  changed,  not  "all
supported ARM development boards".

Then the patch seems to contain support for a new board which is  not
even mentioned in the CHANGELOG.

It seems you disable use of several "flash.c" files, but I don't  see
that  you  delete these files in your patch. Please cleanup obsoleted
files.


Finally, it seems that your patch requires a function platform_init()
to be provided by the baord dependent code, but you add this only for
a few board, thus breaking a lot of boards which now  fail  to  build
because of "undefined reference to `platform_init'" errors.

It is obvious that you did not run the  MAKEALL  script  as  required
BEFORE submitting a patch.

Also, the code looks suspicious to me:

@@ -110,8 +103,8 @@ unsigned long flash_init (void)
 		nbanks = CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS;
 
 	/* Enable flash write */
-	cpcr[1] |= 3;
-
+	cpcr[1] |= cpcr[1] |= CPMASK_FLWREN | CPMASK_FLVPPEN;
+	


I think this is not what you intended to submit?


Please fix the problems and resubmit.


Rejected.



Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
