This patch adds support for subpage (partial-page) writes when using hardware based ECC schemes. Advantages: (1) reduces storage overhead when using file-systems like UBIFS, which store LEB header at page-size granularity. (2) allows independent subpage writes, thereby increasing NAND storage efficiency for non-page aligned data. + updated cafe_nand and lpc32xx_mlc NAND drivers for change in chip->write_page interface.

Notice that all the flashes belonging to the "legacy ID" class have 512 bytes NAND page. This means we may simplify the 'LEGACY_ID_NAND()' macro as well as the NAND ID table a little.

I have 4 Toshiba nand chips which can not be parsed out by the id data. We can not get the oob size from the id data. So add them as the full-id nand chips in the first of nand_flash_ids. The comment for the full-id items is from Brian.

When we meet a full-id nand type whose @id_len is not zero, we can use the find_full_id_nand() to parse out the necessary information for a nand chip. If we meet a non full-id nand type, we can handle it in the legacy way.

As time goes on, we begin to meet the situation that we can not get enough information from some nand chips's id data. Take some Toshiba's nand chips for example. I have 4 Toshiba's nand chips in my hand: TC58NVG2S0F, TC58NVG3S0F, TC58NVG5D2, TC58NVG6D2 When we read these chips' datasheets, we will get the geometry of these chips: TC58NVG2S0F : 4096 + 224 TC58NVG3S0F : 4096 + 232 TC58NVG5D2 : 8192 + 640 TC58NVG6D2 : 8192 + 640 But we can not parse out the correct oob size for these chips from the id data. This patch adds some new fields to the nand_flash_dev{}: @id_len: the valid length of the id data. See the comments in nand_id_has_period() @oobsize: the oob size.

The MTD subsystem has historically tried to be as configurable as possible. The side-effect of this is that its configuration menu is rather large, and we are gradually shrinking it. For example, we recently merged partitions support with the mtdcore. This patch does the next step - it merges the mtdchar module to mtdcore. And in this case this is not only about eliminating too fine-grained separation and simplifying the configuration menu. This is also about eliminating seemingly useless kernel module. Indeed, mtdchar is a module that allows user-space making use of MTD devices via /dev/mtd* character devices. If users do not enable it, they simply cannot use MTD devices at all. They cannot read or write the flash contents. Is it a sane and useful setup? I believe not. And everyone just enables mtdchar. Having mtdchar separate is also a little bit harmful. People sometimes miss the fact that they need to enable an additional configuration option to have user-space MTD interfaces, and then they wonder why on earth the kernel does not allow using the flash? They spend time asking around. Thus, let's just get rid of this module and make it part of mtd core. Note, mtdchar had additional configuration option to enable OTP interfaces, which are present on some flashes. I removed that option as well - it saves a really tiny amount space. [dwmw2: Strictly speaking, you can mount file systems on MTD devices just fine without the mtdchar (or mtdblock) devices; you just can't do other manipulations directly on the underlying device. But still I agree that it makes sense to make this unconditional. And Yay! we get to kill off an instance of checking CONFIG_foo_MODULE, which is an abomination that should never happen.] Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Remove useless extern qualifiers. Not that this is a problem, but we more often declare function prototypes without 'extern', so this is just about being more consistent. And I am going to add a couple more prototypes here. Additionally, remove a useless comment.

Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' in the NAND chip description data structure, because 32-bits is more than enough for our purposes. We do not need 64-bits, which is what we end up on 64-bit architectures. We declare many instances of this data structure, so this should help saving some amount of memory.
