In order to implement the NAND boot for some Freescale's chips, such as
imx23/imx28/imx50/imx6, we use a tool (called kobs-ng) to burn the uboot
and some metadata to nand chip. And the ROM code will use the metadata to
configrate the BCH, and to find the uboot.
The ECC information(ecc step size, ecc strength) which is used to configrure
the BCH is part of the metadata. The kobs-ng can get the ecc strength from
the sys node /sys/*/ecc_strength now. But it can not get the ecc step size.
This patch adds a new field to store the ecc step size in mtd_info{}, and
it makes preparation for the next patches.

Add an instance of an anonymous struct to store the ECC info for full id
nand chips.
@ecc.strength_ds: ECC correctability from the datasheet.
@ecc.step_ds: ECC size required by the @ecc.strength_ds,
These two fields are all from the datasheet.
Also add the necessary macros to make the code simple and clean.

Since the ONFI 2.1, the onfi spec adds the Extended Parameter Page
to store the ECC info.
The onfi spec tells us that if the nand chip's recommended ECC codeword
size is not 512 bytes, then the @ecc_bits is 0xff. The host _SHOULD_ then
read the Extended ECC information that is part of the extended parameter
page to retrieve the ECC requirements for this device.
This patch adds
[1] the neccessary fields for nand_onfi_params{},
[2] and adds the onfi_ext_ecc_info{} for Extended ECC information,
[3] adds onfi_ext_section{} for extended sections,
[4] and adds onfi_ext_param_page{} for the Extended Parameter Page.

1.) Why add the ECC information to the nand_chip{} ?
Each nand chip has its requirement for the ECC correctability, such as
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" or "40bit ECC for each 1024Byte".
This ECC info is very important to the nand controller, such as gpmi.
Take the Micron MT29F64G08CBABA for example, its geometry is
8KiB page size, 744 bytes oob size and it requires 40bit ECC per 1KiB.
If we do not provide the ECC info to the gpmi nand driver, it has to
calculate the ECC correctability itself. The gpmi driver will gets the 56bit
ECC for per 1KiB which is beyond its BCH's 40bit ecc capibility.
The gpmi will quits in this case. But in actually, the gpmi can supports
this nand chip if it can get the right ECC info.
2.) about the new fields.
The @ecc_strength_ds stands for the ecc bits needed within the @ecc_step_ds.
The two fields should be set from the nand chip's datasheets.
For example:
"4bit ECC for each 512Byte" could be:
@ecc_strength_ds = 4, @ecc_step_ds = 512.
"40bit ECC for each 1024Byte" could be:
@ecc_strength_ds = 40, @ecc_step_ds = 1024.
3.) Why do not re-use the @strength and @size in the nand_ecc_ctrl{}?
The @strength and @size in nand_ecc_ctrl{} is used by the nand controller
driver, while the @ecc_strength_ds and @ecc_step_ds are get from the datasheet.

nand_base.c shouldn't have to know the implementation details of
nand_bbt's in-memory BBT. Specifically, nand_base shouldn't perform the
bit masking and shifting to isolate a BBT entry.
Instead, just move some of the BBT code into a new nand_markbad_bbt()
interface. This interface allows external users (i.e., nand_base) to
mark a single block as bad in the BBT. Then nand_bbt will take care of
modifying the in-memory BBT and updating the flash-based BBT (if
applicable).

This remedies a few problems:
(1) The use of "the" vs. "a" is a little confusing, IMO.
(2) nand_chip.block_bad is used exclusively for checking the OOB bad
block markers of a NAND. Any BBT functionality is handled in
nand_bbt.c, so this description should differentiate itself from
nand_bbt.c.

This patch adds support for subpage (partial-page) writes when using
hardware based ECC schemes.
Advantages:
(1) reduces storage overhead when using file-systems like UBIFS, which
store LEB header at page-size granularity.
(2) allows independent subpage writes, thereby increasing NAND storage
efficiency for non-page aligned data.
+ updated cafe_nand and lpc32xx_mlc NAND drivers for change in
chip->write_page interface.

As time goes on, we begin to meet the situation that we can not get enough
information from some nand chips's id data. Take some Toshiba's nand chips
for example. I have 4 Toshiba's nand chips in my hand:
TC58NVG2S0F, TC58NVG3S0F, TC58NVG5D2, TC58NVG6D2
When we read these chips' datasheets, we will get the geometry of these chips:
TC58NVG2S0F : 4096 + 224
TC58NVG3S0F : 4096 + 232
TC58NVG5D2 : 8192 + 640
TC58NVG6D2 : 8192 + 640
But we can not parse out the correct oob size for these chips from the id data.
This patch adds some new fields to the nand_flash_dev{}:
@id_len: the valid length of the id data. See the comments in
nand_id_has_period()
@oobsize: the oob size.

Use 'unsigned int' instead of 'unsigned long' in the NAND chip description data
structure, because 32-bits is more than enough for our purposes. We do not need
64-bits, which is what we end up on 64-bit architectures. We declare many
instances of this data structure, so this should help saving some amount of
memory.

'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.
At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.

Up until now we identified NAND chips by the 'device ID' part of the full chip
ID array, which is the second full ID array byte. However, the newest flashes
use the same device ID for chips with identical page and eraseblock sizes, but
different OOB sizes. And unfortunately, it is not clear if there is a
"standard" way to fetch the OOB size from chip's full ID array. Here is an
example:
Toshiba TC58NVG2S0F: 0x98, 0xdc, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x01, 0x08
Toshiba TC58NVG3S0F: 0x98, 0xd3, 0x90, 0x26, 0x76, 0x15, 0x02, 0x08
The first one is a 512MiB NAND chip with 4KiB NAND pages, 256KiB eraseblock
size and 224 bytes OOB. The second one is a 1GiB NAND chip with the same page
and eraseblock sizes, but with 232 bytes OOB.
This means that we have to store full ID in our NAND flashes table in order to
distinguish between these 2.
This patch adds the 'id[8]' field to the 'struct nand_flash_dev' structure, and
it makes it to be a part of anonymous union, where the second member is a
structure containing the 'mfr_id' and 'dev_id' bytes. The union makes sure that
'mfr_id' refers the same RAM address as 'id[0]' and 'dev_id' refers the same
RAM address as 'id[1]'. The only motivation for the union is an assumption that
'type->dev_id' is more readable than 'type->id[1]'.

The 'id' is a bit confusing name because NAND IDs are multi-byte. Re-name
it to 'dev_id' to make it clear that this is the "device ID" part (the second
byte).
