The reference counting is done on a per-flash basis, so it doesn't actually handle multiple flash correctly AFAICT. I also don't know if (like Russell mentioned) this is practically important to anything besides just phymap/NOR flash, or if there are other flash types used in practice (if so, then this series is insufficient). Regarding your prior questions about this driver: I don't really have much direction for the driver, as I simply inherited it and have barely touched it. As your series still looks like a reasonable restructuring, and it isn't a regression from any existing support: Acked-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> I don't personally care where the PULL goes.

Hi ARM SoC folks, now I'm tired of waiting for the MTD maintainers' word on this patch series. I sent a question about this approach on february 13: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=145537026603174&w=2 With subsequent pings on feb 22, mar 5, mar 31, and the cleanup missing the merge window. As you can see the flash protection patch also caters for the RealView flash protection bits. Please pull this into the ARM SoC tree for testing in linux-next for the v4.7 series. If the MTD people appear again and have issues you can always drop the branch. Yours, Linus Walleij The following changes since commit 9735a22799b9214d17d3c231fe377fc852f042e9: Linux 4.6-rc2 (2016-04-03 09:09:40 -0500) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-integrator.git tags/versatile-flash-for-arm-soc for you to fetch changes up to 91011a7605822cd9c16eabcd1cc11ae31d604bfd: ARM: integrator: move flash registration to device tree (2016-04-04 10:33:16 +0200) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is a set of patches removing the board file code for Versatile flash handling and instead moving it over to the device tree and a special add-on file. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Linus Walleij (4): mtd: physmap_of: add a hook for Versatile write protection mtd: augment the "arm,versatile-flash" bindings ARM: versatile: move flash registration to the device tree ARM: integrator: move flash registration to device tree .../devicetree/bindings/mtd/arm-versatile.txt | 20 +- arch/arm/boot/dts/integrator.dtsi | 3 +- arch/arm/boot/dts/versatile-ab.dts | 5 +- arch/arm/mach-integrator/integrator_ap.c | 62 ----- arch/arm/mach-integrator/integrator_cp.c | 51 ----- arch/arm/mach-versatile/versatile_dt.c | 47 ---- drivers/mtd/maps/Kconfig | 10 + drivers/mtd/maps/Makefile | 1 + drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c | 6 + drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_versatile.c | 253 +++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_versatile.h | 16 ++ 11 files changed, 310 insertions(+), 164 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_versatile.c create mode 100644 drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of_versatile.h
