mtd: merge mtdchar module with mtdcore

2013-04-05T12:16:54Z

The MTD subsystem has historically tried to be as configurable as possible. The side-effect of this is that its configuration menu is rather large, and we are gradually shrinking it. For example, we recently merged partitions support with the mtdcore. This patch does the next step - it merges the mtdchar module to mtdcore. And in this case this is not only about eliminating too fine-grained separation and simplifying the configuration menu. This is also about eliminating seemingly useless kernel module. Indeed, mtdchar is a module that allows user-space making use of MTD devices via /dev/mtd* character devices. If users do not enable it, they simply cannot use MTD devices at all. They cannot read or write the flash contents. Is it a sane and useful setup? I believe not. And everyone just enables mtdchar. Having mtdchar separate is also a little bit harmful. People sometimes miss the fact that they need to enable an additional configuration option to have user-space MTD interfaces, and then they wonder why on earth the kernel does not allow using the flash? They spend time asking around. Thus, let's just get rid of this module and make it part of mtd core. Note, mtdchar had additional configuration option to enable OTP interfaces, which are present on some flashes. I removed that option as well - it saves a really tiny amount space. [dwmw2: Strictly speaking, you can mount file systems on MTD devices just fine without the mtdchar (or mtdblock) devices; you just can't do other manipulations directly on the underlying device. But still I agree that it makes sense to make this unconditional. And Yay! we get to kill off an instance of checking CONFIG_foo_MODULE, which is an abomination that should never happen.] Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

drivers/mtd/devices: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-11T19:38:07Z

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

mtd: ST SPEAr: Add SMI driver for serial NOR flash

2012-03-26T23:14:16Z

SPEAr platforms (spear3xx/spear6xx/spear13xx) provide SMI (Serial Memory Interface) controller to access serial NOR flash. SMI provides a simple interface for SPI/serial NOR flashes and has certain inbuilt commands and features to support these flashes easily. It also makes it possible to map an address range in order to directly access (read/write) the SNOR over address bus. This patch intends to provide serial nor driver support for spear platforms which are accessed through SMI.
