Yes, it still works (with some remarks below).

If armflash_subdev_probe() fails, it cleans up after itself so there is
no need to handle it in the subdev_err loop. With your patch, however,
this should be done explicitly if the subdev probing fails. Something
like below:

(I cc'ed Russell as well since he wrote the integrator-flash driver and
may have comments)

I gave physmap a quick try on RealView boards and it seems to work fine
with the patch below. The only difference is the AFS partition parsing
probes string, though this is no longer used on ARM Ltd platforms (some
old ones still use it).

I'll test it a bit more and, if there are no other comments, I'll push a
patch to convert the ARM Ltd platforms to physmap (but that's for the
next merging window as I don't think I have time to test it well enough
now).


RealView: Convert the platform code to use the physmap flash driver

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

This platform was still using the integrator-flash driver but this
pretty much duplicates the physmap one.
