add_mtd_partition was a 150+ line monster consisting mostly of a single
loop. Seperate the loop from most of the body. Now it should be
obvious which variables are carried around from iteration to iteration.

A nice side effect of this patch is that the return value of
physmap_flash_suspend in the error path is the value of the first failing
suspend callback and not the bitwise OR of all of them.

Existing CFI driver has problems with excessive writes during erase.
If CFI driver does many writes during one erase cycle we may face the
messages with -ETIMEO error on erase operation. It may cause the
following data corruption and kernel panics.
The reason of the issue is related to specifics of suspend operation:
if we write to flash during erase, suspend operation will cost some time
to erase procedure (for P30 it could be significant). In current version of
cfi driver the problem of many suspends is partially workarounded by adding
some time reserv to any operation (8xerase_time) but if we have many writes
during one erase the problem appears.
This patch detects the suspend and resets timer if suspend occured. It
has been well verified on different chips. No problems were found.
Could you please include the patch as it is simple and fixes bad issue.

Such a hardcoded address can cause a checkstop or machine check if
the driver is in the kernel but the address is not acknowledged.
Both drivers allow an address to be specified as either a module
parameter or config option. Any future powerpc board should either
use one of these methods or find the address in the device tree.

This patch implements support for flash-based BBT for chips working
through ELBC NAND controller, so that NAND core will not have to re-scan
for bad blocks on every boot.
Because ELBC controller may provide HW-generated ECCs we should adjust
bbt pattern and bbt version positions in the OOB free area.

For large page chips, nand_bbt is looking into OOB area, and checking
for "0xff 0xff" pattern at OOB offset 0. That is, two bytes should be
reserved for bbt means.
But ELBC driver is specifying ecclayout so that oobfree area starts at
offset 1, so only one byte left for the bbt purposes.
This causes problems with any OOB users, namely JFFS2: after first mount
JFFS2 will fill all OOBs with "erased marker", so OOBs will contain:
OOB Data: ff 19 85 20 03 00 ff ff ff 00 00 08 ff ff ff ff
OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
OOB Data: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
And on the next boot, NAND core will rescan for bad blocks, then will
see "0xff 0x19" pattern, and will mark all blocks as bad ones.
To fix the issue we should implement our own bad block pattern: just one
byte at OOB start. Though, this will work only for x8 chips. For x16
chips two bytes must be checked. Since ELBC driver does not support x16
NANDs (yet), we're safe for now.

This uses __raw_{read,write}s{b,w}() primitives to access data on NAND
chips for more efficient I/O.
On an arm926 with memory clocked at 100 MHz, this reduced the elapsed time
for a 64 MiB read by 16%. ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with an 8-bit
NAND using hardware ECC and 128KiB blocksize.)
Also some minor section tweaks:
- Use platform_driver_probe() so no pointer to probe() lingers
after that code has been removed at run-time.
- Use __exit and __exit_p so the remove() code will normally be
removed by the linker.
Since these buffer read/write calls are new, this increases the runtime
code footprint (by 88 bytes on my build, after the section tweaks).

The scenario goes like this. App stops reading from tun/tap.
TX queue gets full and driver does netif_stop_queue().
App closes fd and TX queue gets flushed as part of the cleanup.
Next time the app opens tun/tap and starts reading from it but
the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But
in the case of persistent devices this happens only during
initial setup.
The fix is trivial. If device is already up when an app opens
it we clear xoff state and that gets things moving again.
