The patch titled
spi: at25 driver is for EEPROM not FLASH
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
spi-at25-driver-is-for-eeprom-not-flash.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: spi: at25 driver is for EEPROM not FLASH
From: David Brownell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Add comment to at25 driver that it's for EEPROM chips, not FLASH
chips ... the AT25 series has both types of chip, and sometimes
they're even pin-compatible. The command sets are different, as
is the treatment of erasure. (FLASH needs explicit erasure, but
with EEPROM it's implicit.) Note that all vendors seem to have
this same confusion in their *25* series SPI memory parts.
