Changes in v2:
- Patch v1 1/1 went into master, but Scott's patch series syncing
  with kernel v4.6 introduced an additional compile time error.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/2] nand: extend nand torture

[Max Krummenacher]

nand torture currently works on exactly one nand block which is specified
by giving the byteoffset to the beginning of the block.

Extend this by allowing for a second parameter specifying the byte size
to be tested.

e.g.
==> nand torture 1000000

NAND torture: device 0 offset 0x1000000 size 0x20000 (nand block size 0x20000)
passed 1, failed 0

==> nand torture 1000000 40000

NAND torture: device 0 offset 0x1000000 size 0x40000 (nand block size 0x20000)
passed 2, failed 0

Signed-off-by: Max Krummenacher <max.krummenacher@toradex.com>

Changes in v2:
- findings from Beno?t:
  - change interface to be offset/size
  - change the output to include both 'size tested' and 'nand block size'
  - updated doc/README.nand accordingly
  - I did not implement the suggestion to move the code into the
    nand_torture() function. Likely one uses the extended functionality
    only during HW bringup interactively. If one would want to test
    multiple blocks from code one would also want to know the testresult
    of each individual block rather than only having a return parameter
    indicating a 'all good' or 'at least one block failed'.

The given offset could also start anywhere, so it's better to
auto-align it like the size.

If the arguments extend beyond the end of the flash, then
nand_torture() will return an error at each iteration, so it's better
to break the loop or not to start it in this case.

It's better to print the range actually tortured than the arguments
from the user.

So what about the following?

Here I prefer having that in 2 if() as the stuff tested is only loosely related.
I guess keeping it like this would also require parantheses around (argc > 3).
Will revert to two if's in v3

Usually, we keep things as compact as possible, which also limits the
number of indentation levels, but that's fine if you prefer otherwise.
I don't think it's a strong rule.

No: `>` has higher precedence than `&&`.

Normally, this rule is for grep-ability. Here, it's more complicated
with the '%' in-between, but it's still makes sense with a regular
expression, so OK.

This got missed because no boards enable CONFIG_CMD_NAND_TORTURE.  If
you use this option could you enable it in the relevant board?

Or maybe we need to add an "allyesconfig"-type build (user-tunable
options only) to buildman?  And/or some other test configs that add up
to decent build coverage of options that are only enabled by users.

I believe this makes option makes only sense if you do HW bringup or
have issues with
your NAND driver. (Which I currently have with an i.MX 7 design)
So likely one would not want to enable this for production code.

On the other hand people switching on the option should be able to fix
whatever issue
arises.

And, considering that it was broken since January 2013
(dfe64e2c89731a3f9950d7acd8681b68df2bae03) it can not be that important.

That's why I suggested the alternative of adding one or more targets aimed at
build coverage.

This patch fixes a breakage that was merged within the past week.  What was
broken by the 2013 sync?

The 2013 sync did deprecate the outside use of the function pointers
in the mtd_info struct. To force this it did also rename the struct
members.
Since the torture code did not follow the rename it did no longer
compile.
Now fixed with

Oh, from the description I didn't realize that the function pointers were
actually not working.  Usually "deprecated" means marked for removal/change,
not actually removed/changed.
