2009-06-16mg_disk: seperate mg_disk.h againunsik Kim
eec9462088a26c046d4db3100796a340a50890b8 fold mg_disk.h into mg_disk.c, but mg_disk platform driver needs private data for operation. This also make mg_disk.c as machine independent. Seperate only needed structure and defines to mg_disk.h Signed-off-by: unsik Kim <donari75@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-28mg_disk: fold mg_disk.h into mg_disk.cTejun Heo
include/linux/mg_disk.h is used only by drivers/block/mg_disk.c. No reason to put it in a separate header. Fold it into mg_disk.c. [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: unsik Kim <donari75@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-07mflash: initial supportunsik Kim
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux. Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer electronic devices. 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. Followings 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. This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer. 1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low- level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule. But, mflash IO mode doesn't. 2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered. 3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt. (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for debug). 4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October) I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will integrate.
