1) Why add the subpage read support?
The page size of the nand chip becomes larger and larger, the imx6 has to
supports the 16K page or even bigger page. But sometimes, the upper layer only
needs a small part of the page, such as 512 bytes or less.
For example, ubiattach may only read 64 bytes per page.
2) We only enable the subpage read support when it meets the conditions:
<1> the chip is imx6 (or later chips) which can supports large nand page.
<2> the size of ECC parity is byte aligned.
If the size of ECC parity is not byte aligned, the calling of NAND_CMD_RNDOUT
will fail.
3) What does this patch do?
This patch will fake a virtual small page for the subpage read, and call the
gpmi_ecc_read_page() to do the real work.
In order to fake a virtual small page, the patch changes the BCH registers and
the bch_geometry{}. After the subpage read finished, we will restore them back.
4) Performace:
4.1) Tested with Toshiba TC58NVG2S0F(4096 + 224) with the following command:
#ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 4

--------------------------------------------------------------
The attach time is about 289.18 - 286.46 = 2.7s
4.4) The conclusion:
We achieve (4.4 - 2.7) / 4.4 = 38.6% faster in the ubiattach.
