From 71d54f3855b4ca98559e8782350336ec2433cc24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dooks Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:36:19 +0100 Subject: [MTD] [NAND] S3C2410 Large page NAND support This adds support for using large page NAND devices with the S3C24XX NAND controller. This also adds the file Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/NAND.txt to describe the differences.
