[meta-ti] am335x-evm nand flash support

[Måns Andersson]

Hi,
It seems that the linux-ti-staging kernel does not have support for nand flash on the am335x-evm board. I have tested both the default ti2013.04.00 tag and the latest from the ti-linux-3.8.y branch on the ti-linux-kernel* repository without luck.

Searching on google gives me the following patch for the linux-omap* kernel https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2624081/. Applying this patch (and the other two from the same series) on the ti-linux-kernel does not work either, there is probably some driver missing or configuration needed. Is there something trivial I've missed, or should I try to compile the linux-omap kernel with the above patches instead?

It seems that the linux-ti-staging kernel was not ready for prime time when it was selected as the default kernel for the am335x boards. Since the board bring up process differs between the 3.2 and 3.8 kernel (device tree) it would be really appreciated if there were working configuration examples for the development boards supplied by TI. Does TI have a public roadmap of when the 3.8 kernel will have full support for their own boards?

Thanks,
// Måns
