[PATCH v3 33/37] mtd: nand: allocate aligned buffers if NAND_OWN_BUFFERS is unset

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Thu Mar 30 2017 - 04:19:58 EST


Some NAND controllers are using DMA engine requiring a specific
buffer alignment. The core provides no guarantee on the nand_buffers
pointers, which forces some drivers to allocate their own buffers
and pass the NAND_OWN_BUFFERS flag.

Rework the nand_buffers allocation logic to allocate each buffer
independently. This should make most NAND controllers/DMA engine
happy, and allow us to get rid of these custom buf allocation in
NAND controller drivers.
