474 This is a reimplementation of M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000,
475 Millennium and Millennium Plus as a standard NAND device driver,
476 as opposed to the earlier self-contained MTD device drivers.
477 This should enable, among other things, proper JFFS2 operation on
478 these devices.

484 This option allows you to specify nonstandard address at which to
485 probe for a DiskOnChip, or to change the detection options. You
486 are unlikely to need any of this unless you are using LinuxBIOS.

494 By default, the probe for DiskOnChip devices will look for a
495 DiskOnChip at every multiple of 0x2000 between 0xC8000 and 0xEE000.
496 This option allows you to specify a single address at which to probe
497 for the device, which is useful if you have other devices in that
498 range which get upset when they are probed.

517 bool "Allow BBT writes on DiskOnChip Millennium and 2000TSOP"
518 depends on MTD_NAND_DISKONCHIP
519 help
520 On DiskOnChip devices shipped with the INFTL filesystem (Millennium
521 and 2000 TSOP/Alon), Linux reserves some space at the end of the
522 device for the Bad Block Table (BBT). If you have existing INFTL
523 data on your device (created by non-Linux tools such as M-Systems'
524 DOS drivers), your data might overlap the area Linux wants to use for
525 the BBT. If this is a concern for you, leave this option disabled and
526 Linux will not write BBT data into this area.
527 The downside of leaving this option disabled is that if bad blocks
528 are detected by Linux, they will not be recorded in the BBT, which
529 could cause future problems.
530 Once you enable this option, new filesystems (INFTL or others, created
531 in Linux or other operating systems) will not use the reserved area.
532 The only reason not to enable this option is to prevent damage to
533 preexisting filesystems.
534 Even if you leave this disabled, you can enable BBT writes at module
535 load time (assuming you build diskonchip as a module) with the module
536 parameter "inftl_bbt_write=1".
