Personally I think we should remove UPM programming code from the
fsl_upm_nand.c, and program the UPM via its own interface, see this post:

^^^ But this is still WIP, and I'm not sure if this is suitable for our
needs (didn't try it).

I see. I think there will be a problem with a

static void fsl_upm_start_pattern(struct fsl_upm *upm, u32 pat_offset)
{
        out_be32(upm->mxmr, FSL_UPM_MxMR_OP_RP | pat_offset);
}

static void fsl_upm_end_pattern(struct fsl_upm *upm)
{
        out_be32(upm->mxmr, FSL_UPM_MxMR_OP_NO);
        while (in_be32(upm->mxmr) != FSL_UPM_MxMR_OP_NO)
                eieio();
}

Since it zeroes these values. No problem though, this should
be replaced by the Linux' versions, that is

clrsetbits_be32(upm->mxmr, MxMR_MAD, MxMR_OP_RP | pat_offset);
for start_pattern, and  clrbits32(upm->mxmr, MxMR_OP_RP); for
end_pattern.

So, this will leave your values intact, and will work for all boards as
well.

> Seem also that defines a duplicated :-(.

No problem. Please, remove the ones you don't like, and leave the ones
you do like. :-) Feel completely free to do everything you need to make
fsl_upm_nand.c work on your hardware, and then we'll see what we can do
to make our hardware work together.

As for UPM programming, as I've said, just remove UPM programming code
from the NAND driver, and leave it in the board file until (if) we'll
start using generic interface.

Yup, MPC8555.
