SPI-ADC
2010/2/13 arjun rath <rath.arjun(a)gmail.com>: can anybody share how to start a spi based ADC linux driver.I am having a MAXIM 1242 ADC chip. The ḱernel does not contain any generic ADC subsystem abstraction (I think it would be good if it did), instead most drivers using ADC have their ADC portions stored i... 15 Feb 2010 04:20

[PATCH 12/14] MTD: add few workarounds to nand system for SmartMedia/xD chips.

[PATCH 06/14] MTD: nand: make suspend work if device is accessed by kernel threads.
Since all userspace threads are frozen at the time the nand_suspend is called, they aren't inside any nand function. We don't call try_to_freeze in nand ether. Thus the only user that can be inside the nand functions is an non freezeable kernel thread. Thus we can safely wait for it to finish. Signed-off-by: M... 13 Feb 2010 08:12

[PATCH 04/14] MTD: call the remove notifiers before assuming it is in use
Now that mtd block common layer is prepared for proper hotplug support, enable it here Now all users of the mtd device have a chance to put the mtd device when they are notified to do so, and they have to do so to make hotplug work.

[PATCH 08/14] MTD: nand: cleanup the nand_do_write_ops
nand_do_write_ops have broken in regard to writing several pages, each with its own oob. Although nand_do_write_ops intends to allow such mode, it fails do do so Probably this was never tested. Also add missing checks for attemts to write at illegal offsets. Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky(a)gmai... 13 Feb 2010 08:12
