while playing with the new mtd/ubi/ubifs sync, found some
small updates for it:
- add del_mtd_partition() to include/linux/mtd/mtd
- mtd: add a debug_printf
- remove some not used functions

A nice side effect of this, is we introduce UBI Fastmap support
to U-Boot.

Linux modified the MTD driver interface in commit edbc4540 (with the
same name as this commit). The effect is that calls to mtd_read will
not return -EUCLEAN if the number of ECC-corrected bit errors is below
a certain threshold, which defaults to the strength of the ECC. This
allows -EUCLEAN to stop indicating "some bits were corrected" and begin
indicating "a large number of bits were corrected, the data held in
this region of flash may be lost soon". UBI makes use of this and when
-EUCLEAN is returned from mtd_read it will move data to another block
of flash. Without adopting this interface change UBI on U-boot attempts
to move data between blocks every time a single bit is corrected using
the ECC, which is a very common occurance on some devices.
For some devices where bit errors are common enough, UBI can get stuck
constantly moving data around because each block it attempts to use has
a single bit error. This condition is hit when wear_leveling_worker
attempts to move data from one PEB to another in response to an
-EUCLEAN/UBI_IO_BITFLIPS error. When this happens ubi_eba_copy_leb is
called to perform the data copy, and after the data is written it is
read back to check its validity. If that read returns UBI_IO_BITFLIPS
(in response to an MTD -EUCLEAN) then ubi_eba_copy_leb returns 1 to
wear_leveling worker, which then proceeds to schedule the destination
PEB for erasure. This leads to erase_worker running on the PEB, and
following a successful erase wear_leveling_worker is called which
begins this whole cycle all over again. The end result is that (without
UBI debug output enabled) the boot appears to simply hang whilst in
reality U-boot busily works away at destroying a block of the NAND
flash. Debug output from this situation:

This patch adopts the interface change as in Linux commit edbc4540 in
order to avoid such situations. Given that none of the drivers under
drivers/mtd return -EUCLEAN, this should only affect those using
software ECC. I have tested that it works on a board which is
currently out of tree, but which I hope to be able to begin
upstreaming soon.

This patch is essentially an update of u-boot MTD subsystem to
the state of Linux-3.7.1 with exclusion of some bits:
- the update is concentrated on NAND, no onenand or CFI/NOR/SPI
flashes interfaces are updated EXCEPT for API changes.
- new large NAND chips support is there, though some updates
have got in Linux-3.8.-rc1, (which will follow on top of this patch).
To produce this update I used tag v3.7.1 of linux-stable repository.
The update was made using application of relevant patches,
with changes relevant to U-Boot-only stuff sticked together
to keep bisectability. Then all changes were grouped together
to this patch.

Get rid of the several "#if 0" sections that were keeping around Linux
code that isn't relevant to U-Boot. Besides cluttering the code, these
sections make tracking upstream changes harder, rather than easier.
It's easy to discard obviously irrelevant diff hunks that patch rejects,
but it's not as easy to notice hunks that apply cleanly to the #if 0
section, but *are* relevant to U-Boot and require modification elsewhere.
Also remove suspend/resume, as this is not applicable to U-Boot. Removal
saves 232 bytes on powerpc.

This patch brings the U-Boot MTD infrastructure in sync with the current
Linux MTD version (2.6.30-rc3). Biggest change is the 64bit device size
support and a resync of the mtdpart.c file which has seen multiple fixes
meanwhile.

Don't use LIST_HEAD() but initialize the struct via INIT_LIST_HEAD() upon
first call of add_mtd_partitions(). Otherwise this won't work on platforms
where the relocation is broken (like MIPS or PPC).
