Before this patch, we assume the whole ROM code are mapping to memory. So
it is wrong if the lookup table offset is 0.
After this patch, we can map only the lookup table of ROM code to memory
intead of the whole ROM code (about 1M). In this case, one lookup table
offset can be 0.

We do the check based on the following two facts:
[1] The mx23/mx28 can only support 20-bits ECC, while the mx6
can supports 40-bits ECC.
[2] The mx23/mx28 can only support the GF13, while the mx6
can supports GF13 and GF14.

The GF13 can be only used in the following case:
The ECC data chunk is less then 1K bytes.
In mx23/mx28, the ecc data chunk is 512 bytes. So it is okay.
But in mx6q, we begin to use some large nand chip whose ecc
data chunk maybe 1K bytes long. So when the data chunk is 1K bytes,
we have to use the GF14.
This patch sets the Golois Field bit when the GF14 is needed.

The panic_nand_wait() expects the timeo in ms and not in jiffies.
But in nand_wait(), the timeo for panic_nand_wait() is assigned with
wrong value(jiffies + some delay). The timeo should be set like the
panic_nand_write() does.
This patch passes timeo in ms to panic_nand_wait().
And this patch also passes timeo in jiffies(converted by msecs_to_jiffies)
to time_before() which makes the code more readable.

Currently cfi_cmdset_0002.c does not support PPB locking of sectors. This
patch adds support for this locking/unlocking mechanism. It is needed on
some platforms, since newer U-Boot versions do support this PPB locking
and protect for example their environment sector(s) this way.
This PPB locking/unlocking will be enabled for all devices supported by
cfi_cmdset_0002 reporting 8 in the CFI word 0x49 (Sector Protect/Unprotect
scheme).
Please note that PPB locking does support sector-by-sector locking. But
the whole chip can only be unlocked together. So unlocking one sector
will automatically unlock all sectors of this device. Because of this
chip limitation, the PPB unlocking function saves the current locking
status of all sectors before unlocking the whole device. After unlocking
the saved locking status is re-configured. This way only the addressed
sectors will be unlocked.
To selectively enable this advanced sector protection mechanism, the
device-tree property "use-advanced-sector-protection" has been created.
To enable support for this locking this property needs to be present in the
flash DT node. E.g.:
nor_flash@0,0 {
compatible = "amd,s29gl256n", "cfi-flash";
bank-width = <2>;
use-advanced-sector-protection;
...

ELM module can be used for hardware error correction of BCH 4 & 8 bit.
ELM module functionality is verified by checking the availability of
handle for ELM module in device tree. Hence supporting
1. ELM module available, BCH error correction done by ELM module. Also
support read & write page in one shot by adding custom read_page and
write_page methods. This helps in optimizing code for NAND flashes with
page size less than 4 KB.
2. If ELM module not available fall back to software BCH error
correction support.
New structure member is added to omap_nand_info
1. "is_elm_used" to know the status of whether the ELM module is used for
error correction or not.
2. "elm_dev" device pointer to elm device on detection of ELM module.
Also being here update the device tree documentation of gpmc-nand for
adding optional property elm_id.
Note:
ECC layout uses 1 extra bytes for 512 byte of data to handle erased
pages. Extra byte programmed to zero for programmed pages. Also BCH8
requires 14 byte ecc to maintain compatibility with RBL ECC layout.
This results a common ecc layout across RBL, U-boot & Linux with BCH8.

On chips with less than 3 protection bits, the unused bits are don't cares

support for davinci nand controller) has never been really build tested with
the driver as a module. When the driver is built-in, the missing semicolon
after structure initializer is "compensated" by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro
being empty and so the initializer using the trailing semicolon on the next
line; when the driver is built as a module, compilation error ensues, and as
the 'davinci_all_defconfig' has the NAND driver modular, this error prevents
DaVinci family kernel from building...

thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply
deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking
infrastructure to set the limits correctly.
When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device
from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio
from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0
chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following
md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when
mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device:
md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127
device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0
This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across
the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the
bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio
splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits.
max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device
(queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of
precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560.
But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given
that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult
indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD
device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly
why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying
layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for
commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries").
Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get
configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool
device directly to the thin device's queue limits.
Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the
block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin
device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and
optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the
queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different
where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

There have also been reports of this driver causing Machine Check

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on
grovelling around in the BIOS memory map which isn't going to work.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.
