[PATCH v5 00/52] mtd: rework ECC layout definition

[Boris Brezillon]

Hello,

Hopefully the last version of this patchset (but don't be sad, I'm not
done bothering you with NAND related patches :-)).

If possible, I'd like to have as much Tested/Reviewed/Acked-by tags as
possible, particularly on the changes done in arch/arm and arch/mips
(since the last set of commits depends on those changes, I'd like to
take them in my nand/next branch, even if this imply creating an
immutable branch for the ARM and MIPS maintainers).

If nobody complains about this version, I'll merge it in 4.7.

Here comes the usual description:

This patchset aims at getting rid of the nand_ecclayout limitations.
struct nand_ecclayout is defining fixed eccpos and oobfree arrays which
can only be increased by modifying the MTD_MAX_ECCPOS_ENTRIES_LARGE and
MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES_LARGE macros.
This approach forces us to modify the macro values each time we add a
new NAND chip with a bigger OOB area, and increasing these arrays also
penalize all platforms, even those who only support small NAND devices
(with small OOB area).

The idea to overcome this limitation, is to define the ECC/OOB layout
by the mean of two functions: ->ecc() and ->free(), which will
basically return the same information has those stored in the
nand_ecclayout struct.

Another advantage of this solution is that ECC layouts are usually
following a repetitive pattern (i.e. leave X bytes free and put Y bytes
of ECC per ECC chunk), which allows one to implement the ->ecc()
and ->free() functions with a simple logic that can be applied
to any size of OOB.

Patches 1 to 4 are just cleanups or trivial fixes that can be taken
independently.

Also note that the last two commits are removing the nand_ecclayout
definition, thus preventing any new driver to use this structure.
Of course, this step can be delayed if some of the previous patches
are not accepted.

All those changes are available here [1].

Best Regards,

Boris

Changes since v4:
- dropped already applied patches
- patch the recently merged qcom driver

Changes since v3:
- fixed two bugs in mtd_ooblayout core implementation
- use ecc->total instead of (ecc->steps * ecc->bytes) in NAND drivers

Changes since v2:
- fixed a few bugs in the core and driver implementations

Changes since v1:
- unified the way of defining ECC and free bytes
- fixed a few bugs in some ->ecc()/->free() implementations
