It would have been nice if you had put the autors of the files on Cc:

Regarding the PPChameleon NAND support: I discussed this issue with
tglx on 23 June 2006. Thomas promised to fix the driver if I send him
the missing file and eventually needed patches.

I did so on Fri, 23 Jun 2006 23:23:42 +0200.

Thomas, can you please have a look at this?

If you don't have time / resources please let me know so we can submit
the stuff here on the list...

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
