Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: Add help text for i.MX NAND controllers
Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 23:48:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210526064805.367434-1-trent.piepho@igorinstitute.com> (raw)

From: Trent Piepho <tpiepho@gmail.com>

There are two different NAND drivers, used for different chips in the
i.MX range.  It's quite confusing as to which to use.  Add some help
text to clarify.
