The fundamental problem there seems to be a mismatch between what is set by the user and what is read from the flash chip. As you mention in your first message, (what it came across is that) you don't have (physical / electrical) access to all the flash; not something I would recommend (that is, having limited electrical connection to the flash) As for the options you propose - enforce and die gracefully (that is, if there is a size mismatch, warning and purposely not working) seems more correct than the second option. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
