I see. Thanks .
U-boot initialize SMC1 for the first time, and has set SMC1_BASE to the 0x87FC offset of the DPRAM.
kernel 2.6.25 initialize SMC1 for the second time as well as which are done in u-boot, except to set SMC1_BASE again.
So if SMC1_BASE is transferred to kernel by dts correctly, SMC1 should work well.
The problem must be my dts file ,not the code.
