[STAGING] Spectra Flash Translation Layer

[STAGING] Spectra Flash Translation Layer

[David Woodhouse]

Greg, please pull from
	git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/spectra-2.6.git

This was previously known as the 'Moorestown NAND flash driver'.

In fact, we have a proper MTD driver for that hardware now, and the only
part we want is the FTL -- the pseudo-filesystem which pretends to be a
disk drive.

It's a silly approach to using flash; we ought to be using proper flash
file systems on it instead. But we need this on at least part of the
flash for compatibility with legacy firmware.

Now pulled.

Note I do get some warnings when building the code:

drivers/staging/spectra/ffsport.c:116:0: warning: "GLOB_VERSION" redefined
drivers/staging/spectra/spectraswconfig.h:24:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
drivers/staging/spectra/flash.c: In function ‘dump_cache_l2_table’:
drivers/staging/spectra/flash.c:778:9: warning: unused variable ‘i’
drivers/staging/spectra/flash.c: At top level:
drivers/staging/spectra/flash.c:2015:12: warning: ‘FTL_Cache_Write_Back’ defined but not used
drivers/staging/spectra/flash.c:2396:13: warning: ‘FTL_Format_Flash’ defined but not used

Are those to be expected?

thanks,
