Not all the NAND devices have all the information in additional
id bytes.
So add a hook in the nand_chip{} is a good method to calculate the
right value of oobsize, erasesize and so on.
Without the hook,you will get the wrong value, and you have to hack
in the ->scan_bbt() to change the wrong value which make the code
mess.

Add support for mtd repartition based on the block
device BLKPG interface:
BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION - for partition creation;
BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION - for partition delete
The usage is based on BLKPG ioctl called with
struct blkpg_ioctl_arg argument which includes the
reference to struct blkpg_partition discribing the
partition offset and length.
Disadvantage: there is no implementation for mtd
flags control. The flags are always borrowed from
the master device.

Currently MTD caches the last read NAND page, even if there was an uncorrectable ECC
error. This patch prevents caching in case of uncorrectable ECC errors. The reason
is that we want to allow the user to re-read the NAND page several times. In case of
unstable bits re-trying may help.
Moreover, current behavior is wrong because the first read returns -EBADMSG (correctly)
but the second read succeeds and incorrectly returns 0 (because we read from the cache).

Toshiba does not use ONFI for their NAND flash. So we have to continue
to add new IDs used by Toshiba devices as well as heuristic detection
for scanning the 2nd page for a BBM. This is a relatively harmless
start at supporting many of them.
These chips mostly follow the same ID fields of previous generations,
but there is a need for a tweak.
These chips introduce a strange 576 byte OOB (that's 36 bytes per
512 bytes of page). In the preliminary data, Toshiba has not
defined exactly how their ID strings should decode. In the future,
a new tweak must be added.
Data is taken from, among others, Toshiba TC58TxG4S2FBAxx

There were some improvements and additions necessary in the
comments explaining of the expansion of nand_ecclayout, the
introduction of nand_ecclayout_user, and the deprecation of the
ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT.
Also, I found a better placement for the macro MTD_MAX_ECCPOS_ENTRIES;
next to the definition of MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES in mtd-abi.h. The macro
is really only important for the ioctl code (found in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c)
but since there are small edits being made to the user-space header, I
figured this is a better location.

struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as
large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that
struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl
would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest
size.
Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a
new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and
expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still
be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now.
A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to
allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps
the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be
removed altogether in the future.
Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe()
regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to
account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded
nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

Some Spansion chips have a method for determining eraseblock size that
is incompatible with similar ID chips of other sizes. This implements
some heuristic detection of these differences.
This patch checks for a 5-byte ID with trailing zeros as well as a
512-byte page size to ensure that chips are not misdetected as the
S30MLxxxP ORNAND series.

Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature
of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption.
The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy
potentially important data.
With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID
header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is
safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may
be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead,
UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB.
IOW, UBI preserves this PEB.
Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them
we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power
cut corrupted PEBs is 8.
This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter
(Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points
to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got
corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches)
tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier
to analyze the corruption.

Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted,
which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the
corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes.
At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these
PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI
preserving them.

Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning:
1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased
2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased
But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after
scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs
which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add
them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of
corruption ASAP.
However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because
the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to
put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused
by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid
killing potentially valuable user data.
This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to
the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation.

Rename local variable 'ec_corr' into 'ec_err' to make the code a little bit
more readable. 'ec_err' is more appropriate because it sounds more like 'error

'err'. Just a minor nicification which should improve the rather complex
scanning code.

Currently UBI has one small flaw - when we read EC or VID header, but find only
0xFF bytes, we return UBI_IO_FF and do not report whether we had bit-flips or
not. In case of the VID header, the scanning code adds this PEB to the free list,
even though there were bit-flips.
Imagine the following situation: we start writing VID header to a PEB and have a
power cut, so the PEB becomes unstable. When we scan and read the PEB, we get
a bit-flip. Currently, UBI would just ignore this and treat the PEB as free. This
patch changes UBI behavior and now UBI will schedule this PEB for erasure.
