A newly erased page contains ff in data as well as spare area. While reading an
erased page, the read out ecc from spare area does not match the ecc generated
by fsmc ecc hardware accelerator. This is because ecc of data ff ff is not ff
ff. This leads to errors when file system erases and reads back the pages to
ensure consistency.
This patch adds a software workaround to ensure that the ecc check is not
performed for erased pages. This problem is solved by checking the number of
bits (in 512 byte data + 13 byte ecc) which are 0. If these number of bits are
less than 8, the page is considered erased and correction algorithm is not tried
on that page

This patch reverts a change that may have been mistakenly included with the set
of patches that introduced the new mtd api entry functions. Or perhaps I am
mistaken :)
The problem is in the partition wrapper functions, where the calls to the driver
methods were replaced with calls to the new mtd api functions. This causes the
api function to be called a second time, further down the call stack. This is
not only unnecessary and redundant - because the sanity checking code and (more
restrictive) bounds checks for the partition were done in the first call - but
is potentially problematic and confusing.
For example, the call stack for a call to mtd_read() on a partitioned device
currently looks like this:
mtd_read() gets struct mtd_info for the partition
|
+-> part_read() via the pointer assigned when the partition was created
|
+->mtd_read() this time gets struct mtd_info for the master
|
+->xyz_driver_read() via the pointer asigned by the driver
It seems that this can cause a variety of problems. For example, if you want to
add code to the api function that tests a value in mtd_info that is relevant
only to the partition. Or (in my case) you want the driver to return a value
that may be different from that returned by the mtd api function.
This patch eliminates the second call to the mtd api function. It was tested on
the docg4 nand driver with a subset of the api functions, but I inspected the
rest and don't see any problems.

[1] Background :
The GPMI does ECC read page operation with a DMA chain consist of three DMA
Command Structures. The middle one of the chain is used to enable the BCH,
and read out the NAND page.
The WAIT4END(wait for command end) is a comunication signal between
the GPMI and MXS-DMA.
[2] The current DMA code sets the WAIT4END bit at the last one, such as:
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+
| cmd | ------------> | cmd | ------------------> | cmd |
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+
^
|
|
set WAIT4END here
This chain works fine in the mx23/mx28.
[3] But in the new GPMI version (used in MX50/MX60), the WAIT4END bit should
be set not only at the last DMA Command Structure,
but also at the middle one, such as:
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+
| cmd | ------------> | cmd | ------------------> | cmd |
+-----+ +-----+ +-----+
^ ^
| |
| |
set WAIT4END here too set WAIT4END here
If we do not set WAIT4END, the BCH maybe stalls in "ECC reading page" state.
In the next ECC write page operation, a DMA-timeout occurs.
This has been catched in the MX6Q board.
[4] In order to fix the bug, rewrite the last parameter of mxs_dma_prep_slave_sg(),
and use the dma_ctrl_flags:
---------------------------------------------------------
DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT : append a new DMA Command Structrue.
DMA_CTRL_ACK : set the WAIT4END bit for this DMA Command Structure.
---------------------------------------------------------
[5] changes to the relative drivers:
<1> For mxs-mmc driver, just use the new flags, do not change any logic.
<2> For gpmi-nand driver, and use the new flags to set the DMA
chain, especially for ecc read page.

Some MTD drivers return -EINVAL if the 'phys' parameter is not NULL, trying to
convey that they cannot return the physical address. However, this is not very
logical because they still can return the virtual address ('virt'). But some
drivers (lpddr) just ignore the 'phys' parameter instead, which is a more
logical thing to do.
Let's harmonize this and:
1. Always initialize 'virt' and 'phys' to 'NULL' in 'mtd_point()'.
2. Do not return an error if the physical address cannot be found.
So as a result, all drivers will set 'phys' to 'NULL' if it is not supported.
None of the 'mtd_point()' users use 'phys' anyway, so this should not break
anything. I guess we could also just delete this parameter later.

Currently, the flash-based BBT implementation writes bad block data only
to its flash-based table and not to the OOB marker area. Then, as new bad
blocks are marked over time, the OOB markers become incomplete and the
flash-based table becomes the only source of current bad block
information. This becomes an obvious problem when, for example:
* bootloader cannot read the flash-based BBT format
* BBT is corrupted and the flash must be rescanned for bad
blocks; we want to remember bad blocks that were marked from Linux
So to keep the bad block markers in sync with the flash-based BBT, this
patch changes the default so that we write bad block markers to the proper
OOB area on each block in addition to flash-based BBT. Comments are
updated, expanded, and/or relocated as necessary.
The new flash-based BBT procedure for marking bad blocks:
(1) erase the affected block, to allow OOB marker to be written cleanly
(2) update in-memory BBT
(3) write bad block marker to OOB area of affected block
(4) update flash-based BBT
Note that we retain the first error encountered in (3) or (4), finish the
procedures, and dump the error in the end.
This should handle power cuts gracefully enough. (1) and (2) are mostly
harmless (note that (1) will not erase an already-recognized bad block).
The OOB and BBT may be "out of sync" if we experience power loss bewteen
(3) and (4), but we can reasonably expect that on next boot, subsequent
I/O operations will discover that the block should be marked bad again,
thus re-syncing the OOB and BBT.
Note that this is a change from the previous default flash-based BBT
behavior. If your system cannot support writing bad block markers to OOB,
use the new NAND_BBT_NO_OOB_BBM option (in combination with
NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH and NAND_BBT_NO_OOB).
