    nand: fix wrong default oob layout for small pages using soft ecc · 160c365b

    commit f7f8c175 upstream.
    
    When using soft ecc, if no ooblayout is given, the core automatically
    uses one of the nand_ooblayout_{sp,lp}*() functions to determine the
    layout inside the out of band data.
    
    Until kernel version 4.6, struct nand_ecclayout was used for that
    purpose. During the migration from 4.6 to 4.7, an error shown up in the
    small page layout, in the case oob section is only 8 bytes long.
    
    The layout was using three bytes (0, 1, 2) for ecc, two bytes (3, 4)
    as free bytes, one byte (5) for bad block marker and finally
    two bytes (6, 7) as free bytes, as shown there:
    
    [linux-4.6] drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c:52
    static struct nand_ecclayout nand_oob_8 = {
    	.eccbytes = 3,
    	.eccpos = {0, 1, 2},
    	.oobfree = {
    		{.offset = 3,
    		 .length = 2},
    		{.offset = 6,
    		 .length = 2} }
    };
    
    This fixes the current implementation which is incoherent. It
    references bit 3 at the same time as an ecc byte and a free byte.
    
    Furthermore, it is clear with the previous implementation that there
    is only one ecc section with 8 bytes oob sections. We shall return
    -ERANGE in the nand_ooblayout_ecc_sp() function when asked for the
    second section.
