[PATCH v4 00/10] mtd: nand: rework nand_ecc_ctrl interface for OOB

[Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>]

Hello,

This is the fourth version of my patches to change the nand_chip and
nand_ecc_ctrl interfaces so that the nand_ecc_ctrl functions have information
about whether the higher layers actually need OOB data to be read/written
from/to the NAND device.

Changes for v4, somewhat ordered by importance:
 
  Fixup unsafe behavior for Freescale NAND drivers (thanks Scott)

  Rebase on auto-increment fixes (sent separately; not accepted yet). Some of
  the nand_base support I provided was not sound for NAND that used
  auto-increment. But we always had NAND_NO_AUTOINCR set, so I killed the
  option and dropped support for auto-increment, making the nand_base changes
  sound again.

  Rebase on top of Mike Dunn's bitflip threshold patch. There wasn't really any
  conflict; just trivial automerges.

  Applied Ack's, Reviewed-by's

Please refer to previous communications for other info.

I could not compile all the affected drivers, since some required ARCH-specific
builds that I am not familiar with.

Developers: if you care about your driver, please compile test and review to be
sure I'm doing things safely for you.

Note to the maintainers: please do NOT accept any of the patches 3-10 without
an explicit ACK from someone who knows the driver (I included Ack's for 6, 7,
and 8). I think they're simple, but I am not certain. And it is totally safe to
ignore one or several of those patches independently.

Thanks for reviewing!

Brian
