After the deleted block bootloc is only used once as follows:

	if (bootloc == 3 && something_else) {
		...

So setting bootloc = 2 doesn't change anything.  Taking that the warning is
wrong and missleading.

Pushed this v5 series to l2-mtd-2.6 / dunno. But please, if you re-send
the series, use consistent "mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002:" prefix for this
patch. Then I will be able to do git-am without manual work. Now I have
to tweak this patch because git am removes [MTD].

Thanks for pushing it.
And I take your advice into consideration for my next series.

David, could you please pick this series and push it to mtd-2.6.git
before the merge window ?
Thanks.

The warning should be preserved for invalid values, or values we don't
support. I don't think it's correct to just remove it.

Looking at the latest datasheet, it looks like values of 0x04 or 0x05
are acceptable, meaning "Uniform, bottom WP protect" and "Uniform, top
WP protect" respectively.

Zero is acceptable only for pre-CFI 1.1 devices, and in that case it
says "refer to device ID code for Top/Bottom boot version of AM29LV160
or AM29LV116". But perhaps we should just probe such devices using the
JEDEC mode anyway.

But, David, the only effect of this code is to print an *erroneous* message.
The message says "Assuming top" but sets bootloc to bottom (2) :(
See this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.mtd/22176
Remark: this would be even clearer if the bootloc values were macros 
instead of 2, 3, ...

If you really want to keep the message then it must at least be changed 
to "Assuming bottom".

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks David.

One thing I noted :

+                       if ((bootloc < 2) || (bootloc > 5)) {
+                               printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: CFI contains
unrecognised boot "
+                                      "bank location (%d). Assuming bottom.\n",
+                                      bootloc, map->name);

I think bootloc and map->name need to be swapped to match the printk
pattern order (%s first then %d).

Doh. Fixed; thanks.
