This series adds, changes, and deprecates several nanddump options, helping make nanddump a closer inverse to nandwrite. This is mostly a preparation for the next release, when several defaults might change. A short list of the planned changes: * unify bad block methods under `--bb=METHOD', deprecating old ones * kill --omitbad in favor of --bb=skipbad * skip bad blocks by default (i.e., --bb=skipbad) * do not dump OOB by default (--omitoob) * add `--oob' to force dumping OOB Please let me know when these are accepted and the 1.4.5 release is made, so I can send a proper patchset to clean this all up as planned for the 1.4.6 release. BTW, is each utility supposed to have its own version? (e.g., nanddump has version 1.30?) Should these versions be kept in any kind of sync with the mtd-utils revision tags? And does Artem take care of this stuff?
