I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Do you mean that I need to
explicitly state that the patches in the
drivers/mtd/nand/raw/davinci_nand.c depend on the ones in
drivers/memory/ti-aemif.c ?
There isn't any external dependency on this patch series. The ONFI modes
are already managed by the NAND core driver (in
drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand_base.c). If a NAND controller wants to benefit
from all the ONFI modes, it needs to implement the setup_interface()
operation; otherwise it can only use the mode 0 which is the slowest.

Ok thank you, I'll move it there in V2.
