-   #define NAND_WAIT_READY(nand)

-      it is ready.

-   #define WRITE_NAND_COMMAND(d, adr)
-      Write the command byte `d' to the flash at `adr' with the
-      CLE (command latch enable) line true. If your board uses writes to
-      different addresses to control CLE and ALE, you can modify `adr'
-      to be the appropriate address here. If your board uses I/O registers

-   #define NAND_DISABLE_CE(nand)
-      Set CE (Chip Enable) low to enable the NAND flash.
-
-   #define NAND_ENABLE_CE(nand)
-      Set CE (Chip Enable) high to disable the NAND flash.

-   #define NAND_CTL_CLRALE(nandptr)

 NOTE:
 =====
 
-We now use a complete rewrite of the NAND code based on what is in
-2.6.12 Linux kernel.
-
-The old NAND handling code has been re-factored and is now confined
-to only board-specific files and - unfortunately - to the DoC code
-(see below). A new configuration variable has been introduced:
-CONFIG_NAND_LEGACY, which has to be defined in the board config file if
-that board uses legacy code.
-
-The necessary changes have been made to all affected boards, and no
-build breakage has been introduced, except for NETTA and NETTA_ISDN
-targets from MAKEALL. This is due to the fact that these two boards
-use JFFS, which has been adopted to use the new NAND, and at the same
-time use NAND in legacy mode. The breakage will disappear when the
-board-specific code is changed to the new NAND.
+The current NAND implementation is based on what is in recent
+Linux kernels.  The old legacy implementation has been disabled,
+and will be removed soon.
 
-As mentioned above, the legacy code is still used by the DoC subsystem.
-The consequence of this is that the legacy NAND can't be removed  from
-the tree until the DoC is ported to use the new NAND support (or boards
-with DoC will break).
+If you have board code which used CONFIG_NAND_LEGACY, you'll need
+to convert to the current NAND interface for it to continue to work.
 
+The Disk On Chip driver is currently broken and has been for some time.
+There is a driver in drivers/mtd/nand, taken from Linux, that works with
+the current NAND system but has not yet been adapted to the u-boot
+environment.
