From d0788ce4924758249c9552c91cc33024d3434419 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Roese Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 15:22:32 +0200 Subject: mtd: physmap_of: Add "no-unaligned-direct-access" DT property On some platforms (e.g. MPC5200) a direct 1:1 mapping may cause problems with JFFS2 usage, as the local bus (LPB) doesn't support unaligned accesses as implemented in the JFFS2 code via memcpy(). By defining "no-unaligned-direct-access", the flash will not be exposed directly to the MTD users (e.g. JFFS2) any more.
