This series adds a nand write variant which implements the procedure
reccomended in the UBI FAQ [1] of dropping trailing pages of eraseblocks
containing entirely 0xff's.

[1] http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html#L_flasher_algo

Changes since v1:
 * renamed to 'trimffs' from 'ubi'
 * wrapped the new feature in #ifdefs
 * don't make it default for jffs -- patch dropped
 * attribution of the drop_ffs() function from mtd-utils to Artem

Ben Gardiner (4):

  [v2] nand_util: convert nand_write_skip_bad() to flags
