Jamie Iles f5671ab3f6 mtd: introduce mtd_device_(un)register()
To prepare for the removal of add_mtd_device and add_mtd_partitions(),
introduce mtd_device_register().  This will create partitions if they
are supplied or register the whole device if there are no partitions.

Once all drivers are converted to use mtd_device_register(),
add_mtd_device() and add_mtd_partitions() will be made internal only.

v2: move kerneldoc to implementation file and fixup some kerneldoc
warnings.

Jamie Iles 5fcb033159 mtd: always build partitioning support
There are very few situations where MTD partitioning is not required,
and the benefit in code size reduction by making this configurable does
not warrant the level of ifdeffery needed.

Artem: this patch is not final - we just make sure that mtd partitions
are always compiled in, and at the end of the series we'll kill
MTD_PARTITIONS altogether.

Tadashi Abe 100f2341e3 mtd: fix hang-up in cfi erase and read contention
cfi erase command hangs up when erase and read contention occurs.
If read runs at the same address as erase operation, read issues
Erase-Suspend via get_chip() and the erase goes into sleep in wait queue.
But in this case, read operation exits by time-out without waking it up.

I think the other variants (0001, 0020 and lpddr) have the same problem too.
Tested and verified the patch only on CFI-0002 flash, though.

Artem Bityutskiy 7c802fbd54 mtd: be silent when mtd partition parser cannot be found
Currently when we register partitions in 'parse_mtd_partitions()' we accept the
list of parsers we should try. And if one of the parsers was not found we print
a message. Well, first of all this whole idea is bad - look at how many
'part_probes' and 'part_probe_types' variables we have - nearly every driver
defines one. Instead, we should just go through all registered parsers all the
time. But this needs to be worked on separately.

This patch makes life of MTD partitions' users a bit simpler and allows them to
safely request parsers which have not been registered -
'parse_mtd_partitions()' will not print a "not available" message in this
case.

The point is that drivers do not have to do things like this any longer:

static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot",
                                         "afs",
                                         NULL };

but can simply do like this:

static const char *part_probe_types[] = { "cmdlinepart", "RedBoot", "afs", NULL };

Kishore Kadiyala c5d8c0cae4 mtd: omap: fix subpage ecc issue with prefetch
When reading/writing a subpage (When HW ECC is not available/enabled)
for number of bytes not aligned to 4, the mis-aligned bytes are handled
first (by cpu copy method) before enabling the Prefetch engine to/from
'p'(start of buffer 'buf'). Then it reads/writes rest of the bytes with
the help of Prefetch engine, if available, or again using cpu copy method.
Currently, reading/writing of rest of bytes, is not done correctly since
its trying to read/write again to/from begining of buffer 'buf',
overwriting the mis-aligned bytes.

Read & write using prefetch engine got broken in commit '2c01946c'.
We never hit a scenario of not getting 'gpmc_prefetch_enable' call
success. So, problem did not get caught up.

Grant Erickson 3e45cf5e85 mtd: mtdchar: retry large buffer allocations
Replace direct call to kmalloc for a potentially large, contiguous
buffer allocation with one to mtd_kmalloc_up_to which helps ensure the
operation can succeed under low-memory, highly- fragmented situations
albeit somewhat more slowly.

Grant Erickson 33b53716bc mtd: create function to perform large allocations
Introduce a common function to handle large, contiguous kmalloc buffer
allocations by exponentially backing off on the size of the requested
kernel transfer buffer until it succeeds or until the requested
transfer buffer size falls below the page size.

This helps ensure the operation can succeed under low-memory, highly-
fragmented situations albeit somewhat more slowly.

Artem: so this patch solves the problem that the kernel tries to kmalloc too
large buffers, which (a) may fail and does fail - people complain about this,
and (b) slows down the system in case of high memory fragmentation, because
the kernel starts dropping caches, writing back, swapping, etc. But we do not
really have to allocate a lot of memory to do the I/O, we may do this even with
as little as one min. I/O unit (NAND page) of RAM. So the idea of this patch is
that if the user asks to read or write a lot, we try to kmalloc a lot, with GFP
flags which make the kernel _not_ drop caches, etc. If we can allocate it - good,
if not - we try to allocate twice as less, and so on, until we reach the min.
I/O unit size, which is our last resort allocation and use the normal
GFP_KERNEL flag.

Artem: re-write the allocation function so that it makes sure the allocated
buffer is aligned to the min. I/O size of the flash.

Felix Radensky 431e1ecabd mtd: mtdconcat: fix NAND OOB write
Currently mtdconcat is broken for NAND. An attemtpt to create
JFFS2 filesystem on concatenation of several NAND devices fails
with OOB write errors. This patch fixes that problem.

Jan Weitzel a80f1c1f6a mtd: omap2: mtd split nand_scan in ident and tail
nand_scan calls nand_scan_tail and here we got a ecc.layout and calculate
oobavail for this layout. After calling nand_scan, we change the layout pointer
if OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW_ROMCODE is set. This results in not calcluated
oobavail. Mountig as jffs2 is not possible.

To fix that nand_scan has to split up in nand_scan_ident and nand_scan_tail
setting ecc.layout between these calls. So nand_scan_tail calculates oobvail
for the used layout. This is also done in serveral other platforms.

Artem Bityutskiy 94735ec404 mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open
The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures
because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()'
failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just
goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it
should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module
and the kref.

This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was
inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels
sent by Mike Turner <admin@islandsoftware.co.uk> to the MTD mailing list:
