[U-Boot] [PATCH v1 0/2] mtd: nand: omap: booting from NAND using u-boot

[Gupta, Pekon]

Hello Enric, Nikita, and other OMAP3 users,

>
>As there were parallel set of patches running between u-boot and kernel.
>hence, some patch-sets caused regression for OMAP3x platforms when booting

>
>Hence this patch series fixes those regressions, and tests complete
>NAND boot sequence for multiple ecc-schemes on AM335x-EVM board.
>(following configurations are required for building u-boot driver which is

Though I have done initial level of testing on AM335x as mentioned above,
But will it be possible for you to test and confirm if these set of patches
solve regressions on your OMAP3 boards ?
