Since the ONFI 2.1, the onfi spec adds the Extended Parameter Page
to store the ECC info.
The onfi spec tells us that if the nand chip's recommended ECC codeword
size is not 512 bytes, then the @ecc_bits is 0xff. The host _SHOULD_ then
read the Extended ECC information that is part of the extended parameter
page to retrieve the ECC requirements for this device.
This patch adds
[1] the neccessary fields for nand_onfi_params{},

1.) Why add the ECC information to the nand_chip{} ?
Each nand chip has its requirement for the ECC correctability, such as
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" or "40bit ECC for each 1024Byte".
This ECC info is very important to the nand controller, such as gpmi.
Take the Micron MT29F64G08CBABA for example, its geometry is
8KiB page size, 744 bytes oob size and it requires 40bit ECC per 1KiB.
If we do not provide the ECC info to the gpmi nand driver, it has to
calculate the ECC correctability itself. The gpmi driver will gets the 56bit
ECC for per 1KiB which is beyond its BCH's 40bit ecc capibility.
The gpmi will quits in this case. But in actually, the gpmi can supports
this nand chip if it can get the right ECC info.
2.) about the new fields.
The @ecc_strength_ds stands for the ecc bits needed within the @ecc_step_ds.
The two fields should be set from the nand chip's datasheets.
For example:
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" could be:
@ecc_strength_ds = 4, @ecc_step_ds = 512.
"40bit ECC for each 1024Byte" could be:
@ecc_strength_ds = 40, @ecc_step_ds = 1024.
3.) Why do not re-use the @strength and @size in the nand_ecc_ctrl{}?
The @strength and @size in nand_ecc_ctrl{} is used by the nand controller
driver, while the @ecc_strength_ds and @ecc_step_ds are get from the datasheet.

nand_base.c shouldn't have to know the implementation details of

bit masking and shifting to isolate a BBT entry.
Instead, just move some of the BBT code into a new nand_markbad_bbt()
interface. This interface allows external users (i.e., nand_base) to
mark a single block as bad in the BBT. Then nand_bbt will take care of
modifying the in-memory BBT and updating the flash-based BBT (if

Up until now we identified NAND chips by the 'device ID' part of the full chip
ID array, which is the second full ID array byte. However, the newest flashes
use the same device ID for chips with identical page and eraseblock sizes, but
different OOB sizes. And unfortunately, it is not clear if there is a
"standard" way to fetch the OOB size from chip's full ID array. Here is an
example:
Toshiba TC58NVG2S0F: 0x98, 0xdc, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x01, 0x08
Toshiba TC58NVG3S0F: 0x98, 0xd3, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x02, 0x08
The first one is a 512MiB NAND chip with 4KiB NAND pages, 256KiB eraseblock
size and 224 bytes OOB. The second one is a 1GiB NAND chip with the same page
and eraseblock sizes, but with 232 bytes OOB.
This means that we have to store full ID in our NAND flashes table in order to
distinguish between these 2.
This patch adds the 'id[8]' field to the 'struct nand_flash_dev' structure, and
it makes it to be a part of anonymous union, where the second member is a
structure containing the 'mfr_id' and 'dev_id' bytes. The union makes sure that
'mfr_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[0]' and 'dev_id' refers the same
RAM address as 'id[1]'. The only motivation for the union is an assumption that
'type->dev_id' is more readable than 'type->id[1]'.

This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc2a
("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY").
In that patch I overlooked a few things.
The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...
So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

The NAND_CHIPOPTIONS_MSK has limited utility and is causing real bugs. It
silently masks off at least one flag that might be set by the driver

others.
Really, as long as driver writers exercise a small amount of care with
NAND_* options, this mask is not necessary at all; it was only here to
prevent certain options from accidentally being set by the driver. But the
original thought turns out to be a bad idea occasionally. Thus, kill it.

There is an implemention of hardware ECC write page function which may return an
error indication.
For instance, using Atmel HW PMECC to write one page into a nand flash, the hardware
engine will compute the BCH ecc code for this page. so we need read a the
status register to theck whether the ecc code is generated.
But we cannot assume the status register always can be ready, for example,
incorrect hardware configuration or hardware issue, in such case we need
write_page() to return a error code.
Since the definition of 'write_page' function in struct nand_ecc_ctrl is 'void'.
So this patch will:
1. add return 'int' value for 'write_page' function.
2. to be consitent, add return 'int' value for 'write_page_raw' fuctions too.
3. add code to test the return value, and if negative, indicate an
error happend when write page with ECC.
4. fix the compile warning in all impacted nand flash driver.

New NAND controllers can perform read/write via HW engines which don't expose
OOB data in their DMA mode. To reflect this, we should rework the nand_chip /
nand_ecc_ctrl interfaces that assume that drivers will always read/write OOB
data in the nand_chip.oob_poi buffer. A better interface includes a boolean
argument that explicitly tells the callee when OOB data is requested by the
calling layer (for reading/writing to/from nand_chip.oob_poi).
This patch adds the 'oob_required' parameter to each relevant {read,write}_page
interface; all 'oob_required' parameters are left unused for now. The next
patch will set the parameter properly in the nand_base.c callers, and follow-up
patches will make use of 'oob_required' in some of the callee functions.
Note that currently, there is no harm in ignoring the 'oob_required' parameter
and *always* utilizing nand_chip.oob_poi, but there can be
performance/complexity/design benefits from avoiding filling oob_poi in the
common case. I will try to implement this for some drivers which can be ported
easily.
Note: I couldn't compile-test all of these easily, as some had ARCH

indicating the maximum number of bit errors that were corrected in any one

not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error

This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on
hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A
driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a
normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the
lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE
based on the MTD file mode.
For now, most drivers can get away with just setting:
chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob
This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above,
you must supply your own replacement function.
This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls
on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as
follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying
ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly),
contrary to the `--noecc' option.
I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes
ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support
a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw
OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw
mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the
problems by:
1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting
to MTD_OOB_PLACE
2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob'
3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this
function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current
hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing
either with or without ECC
This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.
