This patch makes MTD dynamic partitioning more flexible by removing
overlap checks for dynamic partitions. I don't see any particular
reason why overlapping dynamic partitions should be prohibited while
static partitions are allowed to overlap freely.
The checks previously had an off-by-one error, where 'end' should be
one less than what it is currently set at, and adding partitions out of
increasing order will fail. Disabling the checks resolves this issue.

This patch makes a sysfs variable called 'offset' on each partition
which contains the offset in bytes from the beginning of the master
device that the partition starts.

For many use cases, it helps to have a device node for the entire
MTD device as well as device nodes for the individual partitions.
For example, this allows querying the entire device's properties.
A common idiom is to create an additional partition which spans
over the whole device.
This patch makes a config option, CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER,
which makes the master partition present even when the device is
partitioned. This isn't turned on by default since it presents
a backwards-incompatible device numbering.
The patch also makes the parent of a partition device be the master,
if the config flag is set, now that the master is a full device.

return type of wait_for_completion_timeout is unsigned long not int, this
patch uses the return value of wait_for_completion_timeout in the condition
directly rather than assigning it to an incorrect type variable.
The variable used for handling the return of wait_for_cmpletion_timeout
was int but should be unsigned long, where it was not in use for
anything else and the return value in case of completion (>0) is not
used it was removed and wait_for_completion_timeout() used directly in
the if condition.
To make the timeout values a bit simpler to read and also handle all of
the corner cases correctly the declarations are moved to
msecs_to_jiffies().
The timeout declaration cleanup is just for readability

Even if bus is not hot-pluggable, the devices can be unbound from the
driver via sysfs, so we should not be using __exit annotations on
remove() methods. The only exception is drivers registered with
platform_driver_probe() which specifically disables sysfs bind/unbind
attributes.

Two config options exist to define powerpc MPC8xx:
* CONFIG_PPC_8xx
* CONFIG_8xx
In addition, CONFIG_PPC_8xx also defines CONFIG_CPM1 as
communication co-processor
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype has contained the following
comment about CONFIG_8xx item for some years:
"# this is temp to handle compat with arch=ppc"
It looks like not many places still have that old CONFIG_8xx used,
so it is likely to be a good time to get rid of it completely ?

Without this patch the timings are all set to 0 if not specified in the dts.
With this patch the driver falls back to use the defaults that are already
present in the driver and are known to work okay for some (older) boards.

If a NAND device is not really present or pin muxes are not correctly
configured we can lock up the kernel waiting infinitely for NAND_STATUS
to be ready.
This can be easily reproduced on TI's DRA7-evm board by booting it
without NAND support in u-boot and disabling NAND pin muxes in the kernel.
Add timeout when waiting for NAND_CMD_RESET completion. As per ONFi v4.0
tRST can be upto 250ms for EZ-NAND and 5ms for raw NAND.

As the only comments I got for the "mtd: cfi: reduce stack size"
patch were about whitespace changes, it appears necessary to fix

The cfi_staa_write_buffers function uses a large amount of kernel stack
whenever CONFIG_MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32 is set, and that results in a
warning on ARM allmodconfig builds:
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
It turns out that this is largely a result of a suboptimal implementation
of map_word_andequal(). Replacing this function with a straightforward
one reduces the stack size in this function by exactly 200 bytes,
shrinks the .text segment for this file from 27648 bytes to 26608 bytes,
and makes the warning go away.

We're not initializing the ooblen field. Our users don't care, since
they check that oobbuf == NULL first, but it's good practice to zero
unused fields out.
We can drop the NULL initializations since we're memset()ing the whole
thing.
