Thanks Arnd. This looks like it applies on top of Vijay's recent patch?

The intent of that change was to make the driver usable for systems
that do not want to depend on the flash phandle. I think the fix we
want looks like this:

--- a/drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c
+++ b/drivers/soc/aspeed/aspeed-lpc-ctrl.c
@@ -224,10 +224,11 @@ static int aspeed_lpc_ctrl_probe(struct
platform_device *pdev)
                        dev_err(dev, "Couldn't address to resource for
flash\n");
                        return rc;
                }
+
+               lpc_ctrl->pnor_size = resource_size(&resm);
+               lpc_ctrl->pnor_base = resm.start;
        }

-       lpc_ctrl->pnor_size = resource_size(&resm);
-       lpc_ctrl->pnor_base = resm.start;


Vijay, do you agree?

Cheers,

Joel
