This patch enables NAND subpage read functionality.
If upper layer drivers are requesting to read non page aligned data NAND
subpage-read functionality reads the only whose ECC regions which include
requested data when original code reads whole page.
This significantly improves performance in many cases.
Here are some digits :
UBI volume mount time
No subpage reads: 5.75 seconds
Subpage read patch: 2.42 seconds
Open/stat time for files on JFFS2 volume:
No subpage read 0m 5.36s
Subpage read 0m 2.88s

With modern systems using bus-hold instead of bus pull-up, it can
often lead to erroneous reporting of NAND devices where there are
none. Do a double probe to ensure that the result we got the first
time is repeatable, and if it is not then return that there is no
chip there.

Some hardware, such as the enhanced local bus controller used on some
mpc83xx chips, does ecc transparently when reading and writing data, rather
than providing a generic calculate/correct mechanism that can be exported to
the nand subsystem.
The subsystem should not BUG() when calculate, correct, or hwctl are
missing, if the methods that call them have been overridden.

When we mark block bad we have to get chip because this involves
writing to the page's OOB. We hit this bug in UBI - we observed
random obscure crashes when it marks block bad from the background
thread and there is some parallel task which utilizes flash.
This patch also adds a TODO note about BBT table protection which
it seems does not exist.

There is a slight bug in nand_default_block_markbad, where the offset is
cast to an integer, prior to being shifted. This means that on large
offsets, it is incorrectly doing a signed shift & losing bits. Fixed
this by doing the cast after the shift (as is done elsewhere in the code).

During the MTD rework the oobavail parameter of mtd_info structure has become
private. This is not quite correct in terms of integrity and logic. If we have
means to write to OOB area, then we'd like to know upfront how many bytes out
of OOB are spare per page to be able to adapt to specific cases.

not attempted with an invalid offset or length. Specifically,
the offset must be less than the size of oob for a page

As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing.
The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it
serves to specify the full OOB read length.
The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken
into account.
Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

When a flash-based BBT is not used, nand_default_mark_blockbad() is supposed
to mark the block bad in the oob. However, it sets the wrong length variable
so that no bad block marker is in fact written. This patch attempts to
rectify that.
(As note, it seems to be that logically, it shouldn't be necessary to set
both length variables, as one appears to be for the main buffer, and
one for the oob buffer, but this is how it is done in several places,
including the code for the mtd character device MEMWRITEOOB and MEMREADOOB
ioctls. I'm not sure if this is a temporary solution during some rework of
the mtd infrastructure, or whether there is a deeper thought here.)

Ditch the separate oobrbuf and oobwbuf fields from the chip buffers,
and use only a single buffer immediately after the data. This accommodates
NAND controllers such as the OLPC CAFÉ chip, which can't do scatter/gather
DMA so needs the OOB buffer to be contiguous with the data, for both read
and write.

Following problems are addressed:
- wrong status caused early break out of nand_wait()
- removed the bogus status check in nand_wait() which
is a relict of the abandoned support for interrupted
erase.
- status check moved to the correct place in read_oob
- oob support for syndrom based ecc with strange layouts
- use given offset in the AUTOOOB based oob operations
Partially based on a patch from Vitaly Vool <vwool@ru.mvista.com>

The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

Hopefully the last iteration on this!
The handling of out of band data on NAND was accompanied by tons of fruitless
discussions and halfarsed patches to make it work for a particular
problem. Sufficiently annoyed by I all those "I know it better" mails and the
resonable amount of discarded "it solves my problem" patches, I finally decided
to go for the big rework. After removing the _ecc variants of mtd read/write
functions the solution to satisfy the various requirements was to refactor the
read/write _oob functions in mtd.
The major change is that read/write_oob now takes a pointer to an operation
descriptor structure "struct mtd_oob_ops".instead of having a function with at
least seven arguments.
read/write_oob which should probably renamed to a more descriptive name, can do
the following tasks:
- read/write out of band data
- read/write data content and out of band data
- read/write raw data content and out of band data (ecc disabled)
struct mtd_oob_ops has a mode field, which determines the oob handling mode.
Aside of the MTD_OOB_RAW mode, which is intended to be especially for
diagnostic purposes and some internal functions e.g. bad block table creation,
the other two modes are for mtd clients:
MTD_OOB_PLACE puts/gets the given oob data exactly to/from the place which is
described by the ooboffs and ooblen fields of the mtd_oob_ops strcuture. It's
up to the caller to make sure that the byte positions are not used by the ECC
placement algorithms.
MTD_OOB_AUTO puts/gets the given oob data automaticaly to/from the places in
the out of band area which are described by the oobfree tuples in the ecclayout
data structre which is associated to the devicee.
The decision whether data plus oob or oob only handling is done depends on the
setting of the datbuf member of the data structure. When datbuf == NULL then
the internal read/write_oob functions are selected, otherwise the read/write
data routines are invoked.
Tested on a few platforms with all variants. Please be aware of possible
regressions for your particular device / application scenario
Disclaimer: Any whining will be ignored from those who just contributed "hot
air blurb" and never sat down to tackle the underlying problem of the mess in
the NAND driver grown over time and the big chunk of work to fix up the
existing users. The problem was not the holiness of the existing MTD
interfaces. The problems was the lack of time to go for the big overhaul. It's
easy to add more mess to the existing one, but it takes alot of effort to go
for a real solution.
Improvements and bugfixes are welcome!
