Okay I just don't get it, but that's not a surprise. I'm booting a 2.6.23
kernel on an MPC8347 using u-boot 1.3.0. I'm trying to use the device
tree to spec my single Spansion/AMD NOR flash part and I can't get the
kernel to recognize the part. Or maybe I just don't know how to tell if
the kernel is recognizing the part. It's possible that everything is fine
and I'm just to dumb to know it.
So I've got a Spansion S29GL128N flash part and the following entry in my
device tree:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
compatible = "amd,s29g128n", "cfi-flash";
reg = <ff000000 01000000>;
bank-width = <2>;
device-width = <1>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
label = "bit";
reg = <200000 a0000>;
};
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
label = "kernel";
reg = <400000 140000>;
};
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
label = "blob";
reg = <600000 20000>;
};
[EMAIL PROTECTED] {
label = "uboot";
reg = <f00000 60000>;
read-only;
};
};
I've got the following in my .config for the kernel (I think this is all
that's relavent but I'm not sure);

With this device tree and this .config the kernel never probes the flash
part and 'cat /dev/mtd1' says the device doesn't exist. If I then use
Kconfig to specify the start of flash, the size of flash, and the bank
width, dmesg shows that the part has been probed and 'cat /dev/mtd' spews
out all sorts of stuff.
What black magic is there that doesn't showup in booting-without-of.txt
that I'm missing?
Thanks for any feedback.
