Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not
straight forward in i.MX6 platform and it requires
boot control block(BCB) to be configured.
It becomes difficult to use uboot 'nand' command to
write BCB since it requires platform specific attributes
need to be taken care of.
It is even difficult to use existing msx-nand.c driver by
incorporating BCB attributes like mxs_dma_desc does
because it requires change in mtd and nand command.
So, cmd_nandbcb implemented in arch/arm/mach-imx
BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB)
and Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings,
DBBT search area, page address of firmware.
On summary, nandbcb update will
- erase the entire partition
- create BCB by creating 2 FCB/DBBT block followed by
1 FW block based on partition size and erasesize.
- fill FCB/DBBT structures
- write FW/SPL on FW1
- write FCB/DBBT in first 2 blocks
for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will load and finally
firmware will be loaded which is boot image.
Refer section "NAND Boot" from doc/imx/common/imx6.txt for more usage
information.

Currently the spl system calls nand_init which does nothing.
It isn't until an attempt to load from NAND that it gets initialized.
Subsequent attempts to load just skip the initialization because
NAND is already initialized.
This moves the contents of mxs_nand_init to nand_init. In the event
of an error, it clears the number of nand chips found. Any
attempts to use nand will check if there are nand chips available
instead of actually doing the initialization at that time. If there
are none, it will return an error to the higher level calls.

The LogicPD board uses a Micron Flash with ECC. To boot this from
SPL, the ECC needs to be correctly configured or the BCH engine
times out.

The initialization function calls a nand_chip.scan_bbt(mtd) but
scan_bbt is never initialized resulting in an undefined function
pointer. This will direct the function pointer to nand_default_bbt
defined in the same file.

NAND flavors, like serial and parallel, have a lot in common and would
benefit to share code. Let's move raw (parallel) NAND specific code in a
raw/ subdirectory, to ease the addition of a core file in nand/ and the
introduction of a spi/ subdirectory specific to SPI NANDs.
