[PATCH 00/11] mtd: nand_bbt: introduce independent nand BBT

From: Peter Pan
Date: Sun Mar 13 2016 - 22:50:54 EST


Sorry for send the v3 out late. I went through a busy time in the past
two month.

Currently nand_bbt.c is tied with struct nand_chip, and it makes other
NAND family chips hard to use nand_bbt.c. Maybe it's the reason why
onenand has own bbt(onenand_bbt.c).

Separate struct nand_chip from BBT code can make current BBT shareable.
We create struct nand_bbt to take place of nand_chip in nand_bbt.c.
Struct nand_bbt contains all the information BBT needed from outside and
it should be embedded into NAND family chip struct (such as struct nand_chip).

Below is mtd folder structure we want:
drivers/mtd/nand/<all-nand-core-code>
drivers/mtd/nand/raw/<raw-nand-controller-drivers>
drivers/mtd/nand/spi/<spi-nand-code>
drivers/mtd/nand/onenand/<onenand-code>
drivers/mtd/nand/chips/<manufacturer-spcific-code>

Most of the patch is borrowed from Brian Norris <computersforpeace@xxxxxxxxx>.
http://git.infradead.org/users/norris/linux-mtd.git/shortlog/refs/heads/nand-bbt
I decided the authorship of each patch by contribution. Please let me know if
there is something unproper.
Based on Brian's suggestion and Boris's comments, I make 11 independent
patches. Previous patch is http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/492066/
After discussion with Boris and Ezequiel, I realized above structure is better,
so I drop the patch to move nand_bbt.c to mtd folder.

The patch is tested on Zed board.

v3 changes:
introduce struct nand_bbt_ops
introduce struct nand_chip_layout_info
add nand_bbt_create/destroy() API
use mtd_to_nand instead mtd->priv directly
remove mark_bad_bbm() due to no user yet
keep nand_bbt.c in mtd/nand folder
add nand_get_bbt() helper function
rebase patch series on 4.5.0-rc1
v2 changes:
rebase patch series on master branch of l2-mtd.git
