SubjectRE: [PATCH]: 2.6.14-rc5 arch-ixp4xx/system.h: ensure flash is readable before reboot
Date
My apologies - I made a mistake when I split up the NSLU2 patch set.
The way the flash reset part is written makes it dependent on the
the NSLU2 header file (which defines the flash base address).

The modified version of the patch which I have attached is
independent of the other (not yet submitted) patches (i.e. it will
compile correctly without the other patches.)

# On NSLU2 ensure that the flash is readable on system boot.
