-GPIO assisted NAND flash
-
-The GPIO assisted NAND flash uses a memory mapped interface to
-read/write the NAND commands and data and GPIO pins for the control
-signals.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : "gpio-control-nand"
-- reg : should specify localbus chip select and size used for the chip.  The
-  resource describes the data bus connected to the NAND flash and all accesses
-  are made in native endianness.
-- #address-cells, #size-cells : Must be present if the device has sub-nodes
-  representing partitions.
-- gpios : Specifies the GPIO pins to control the NAND device.  The order of
-  GPIO references is:  RDY, nCE, ALE, CLE, and nWP. nCE and nWP are optional.
-
-Optional properties:
-- bank-width : Width (in bytes) of the device.  If not present, the width
-  defaults to 1 byte.
-- chip-delay : chip dependent delay for transferring data from array to
-  read registers (tR).  If not present then a default of 20us is used.
-- gpio-control-nand,io-sync-reg : A 64-bit physical address for a read
-  location used to guard against bus reordering with regards to accesses to
-  the GPIO's and the NAND flash data bus.  If present, then after changing
-  GPIO state and before and after command byte writes, this register will be
-  read to ensure that the GPIO accesses have completed.
-
-The device tree may optionally contain sub-nodes describing partitions of the
-address space. See partition.txt for more detail.
-
-Examples:
-
-gpio-nand@1,0 {
-	compatible = "gpio-control-nand";
-	reg = <1 0x0000 0x2>;
-	#address-cells = <1>;
-	#size-cells = <1>;
-	gpios = <&banka 1 0>,	/* RDY */
-		<0>, 		/* nCE */
-		<&banka 3 0>, 	/* ALE */
-		<&banka 4 0>, 	/* CLE */
-		<0>;		/* nWP */
-
-	partition@0 {
-	...
-	};

+title: NAND memory exclusively connected to GPIO lines

+
+description: |
+  It is possible to connect a NAND flash memory without any
+  dedicated NAND controller hardware, using just general purpose
+  I/O (GPIO) pins. This will not be fast, but it will work.
+  The address and data lines of the chip will still need to be
+  connected so that the contents of a NAND page can be
+  memory-mapped and accessed after the special lines are toggled
+  by GPIO.
+
+# The GPIO controlled NAND has wires going directly to one single
+# NAND chip, so it is both a nand controller and a nand chip at
+# the same time, but it does not have things such as chip select
+# since the use is hammered down to one single chip only.
+# There is no point for the chip itself to be a subnode of the
+# controller so the raw NAND chip properties are added right into
+# the controller node like this.
