From 84253394927c4352652d0b118ad9583f5646959b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 13:28:46 +0200 Subject: remove the mg_disk driver This drivers was added in 2008, but as far as a I can tell we never had a single platform that actually registered resources for the platform driver. It's also been unmaintained for a long time and apparently has a ATA mode that can be driven using the IDE/libata subsystem.

The only difference is mflash is -MCP(Multi Chip Package) device. These two device operate exactly same way. -So the rest mflash repersents mflash and gflash altogether. - -Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports -2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new -driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's -one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have -IDE interface. - -Following are brief descriptions about IO mode. -A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, -write confirm) -B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. -C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. - -2. Reserved area configuration -If host boot from mflash, usually needs raw area for boot loader image. All of -the mflash's block device operation will be taken this value as start offset. -Note that boot loader's size of reserved area and kernel configuration value -must be same. - -3. Example of mflash platform driver registration -Working mflash is very straight forward. Adding platform device stuff to board -configuration file is all.
