Re: [microblaze-uclinux] New PetaLinux release - call for patches and bug reports

[Ken Ledbetter <prator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran into something yesterday when trying to build the MMU version.  The user mtd apps were throwing an error on linux-2.6.x/include/mtd/mtd-abi.h.  I found this modification on the net.  I'm not sure if this is the correct way to fix it, but it worked for me.

Actually, now that I think about it, I didn't test any mtd apps after doing this, it just got me past the build error.
