There are several ARM and MIPS boards which are manufactured with
either Intel (pflash_cfi01.c) or AMD (pflash_cfi02.c) flash memory.

The Linux kernel supports both and first probes for AMD flash which
resulted in one or two warnings from the Intel flash emulation:

pflash_write: Unimplemented flash cmd sequence (offset 0000000000000000, wcycle 0x0 cmd 0x0 value 0xf000f0)
pflash_write: Unimplemented flash cmd sequence (offset 0000000000000000, wcycle 0x0 cmd 0x0 value 0xf0)

These warnings confuse users, so suppress them.

This is strictly speaking not a bug fix, but it fixes a warning
which confuses QEMU users since a long time (see previous mails
on qemu-devel and bug report).

It is also safe. Therefore I think it can be applied to 1.3.

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I ever submited a similar patch to mailing list:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/147886/

Do you have a look at that patch to see whether it's sane for the
different parts between mine and yours?

Thanks,
Liming Wang

Hi,

your patch is technically identical, but I think that your commit message
ismisleading: it implies that 0xff and 0xf0 are both specified in the
CFI specification for Intel flash memory (CFI 01). As far as I could see,
0xf0 is only a specified flash command sequence for AMD flash memory 
(CFI 02).
That's why Linux uses it to detect that kind of flash memory.

If you resend your patch with a commit message and a comment in
the code which explains why 0xf0 needs handling in pflash_cfi01.c,
it can be committed IMHO.

Regards

Stefan

Thanks, applied.
