[U-Boot] [PATCH] nand: Extending the nand_ecclayout struct based on Linux 3.5

[U-Boot] [PATCH] nand: Extending the nand_ecclayout struct based on Linux 3.5

[Charles Hardin]

NANDs with large page sizes are getting oob ares of 218 and 224
so the eccpos field needs to support these larger areas since
BCH ECC correction with 24-bit over 1024 bytes will use 168 bytes
of the oob for ECC and is required for current MLC NAND parts
circa 2012.

Unapplied.

It breaks cam_enc_4xx by making the BSS too large (please work with the  
maintainer of this board, Heiko Schocher, to find a solution).

It breaks various onenand boards (such as nhk8815) because they refer  
to MTD_MAX_OOBFREE_ENTRIES but you didn't fix the users.
