[PATCH v3 00/16] Update for QCOM NAND driver

[Abhishek Sahu]

* v3:

1. Addressed all review comments in v2.
2. Added patch for removing redundant nand-ecc-step-size DT property.
3. Renamed ECC configuration setup function with minor code changes.
4. Modified comments and commit message for few patches.

* v2:

1. Addressed all review comments in v1.
1. Make the generic helper function for NAND ECC parameters setup
   and used this helper function for QCOM and Denali nand driver
   for ECC setup.
2. Modified commit message for some of the patches and added more
   comments.
3. Added new patch for fixing âreturn 0â for raw read.
4. Removed the read last codeword part for nand oob write.
5. Reorganized bad block check function and removed the
   read_last_cw function completely.

* v1:

This patch series mainly deals with error handling and erased page
bitflip detection for QCOM NAND driver.

1. The error handling was missing for some of the cases so fixed
   the same.

2. Add the support for taking ECC strength from ONFI parameter.
   The earlier QCOM boards were coming with 4-bit ECC chip but
   now the same boards are coming with 8-bit ECC chip since the
   earlier 4-bit parts are obsolete from some vendors.

3. We got few issues related with NAND erased page bitflips. The
   QCOM NAND controller canât detect the bitflip in completely erased
   page so added the support to detect the same. It implemented the
   logic mentioned in patch [1] which didnât go in mainline and later
   the generic functions were provided [2] to count the number of
   bitflips and make all 0xff. This patch series did some optimization
   logic to prevent the unnecessary full page raw read and data copy
   from QCOM NAND controller to DMA.

4. Following are the testing done for these patches in QCOM IPQ8074
   HK01 (4-bit and 8-bit ECC chip) and IPQ806x AP148 boards.
    a. Run all mtd test and check if it passes
    b. Introduce custom bitflips in erased page and check if it
       returns no error/EUCLEAN/EBADMSG depending upon number of
       bitflips and position.
    c. Introduce failure condition for operational failure and
       check if it detects the same.
