From 63fcf10db218a89cbd1e34c47540c3e28706cff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yong Wang Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:09:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] staging: spectra: asynchronous init The spectra nand driver takes quite some time to initialize because it needs to scan the whole nand disk to find the latest block table. This patch initializes the spectra nand driver asynchronously so that other things in the kernel can initialize in parallel to the scanning operation.
