c203482177 nand: Add function to unregister NAND devices
This performs the opposite of nand_register, allowing drivers to unregister
nand devices. This is probably unnecessary for most regular drivers, but we
expect sandbox drivers to get repeatedly bound/unbound, so this will help
avoid dangling pointers.

38ef64e6ce spl: nand: Set bl_len to page size
Since commit 34793598c8 ("mtd: nand: mxs_nand_spl: Remove the page aligned
access") there are no longer any users of nand_get_mtd. However, it is
still important to know what the page size is so we can allocate a
large-enough buffer. If the image size is not page-aligned, we will go off
the end of the buffer and clobber some memory.

Introduce a new function nand_page_size which returns the page size. For
most drivers it is easy to determine the page size. However, a few need to
be modified since they only keep the page size around temporarily.

It's possible that this patch could cause a regression on some platforms if
the offset is non-aligned and there is invalid address space immediately
before the load address. spl_load_legacy_img does not (except when
compressing) respect bl_len, so only boards with SPL_LOAD_FIT (8 boards) or
SPL_LOAD_IMX_CONTAINER (none in tree) would be affected.

0d1ecc99cb mtd: Remove mtd_erase_callback() entirely
The original purpose of mtd_erase_callback() in Linux at the time it was
imported to U-Boot, was to inform the caller that erasing is done (since
it was an asynchronous operation).

All supplied callback methods in U-Boot do nothing, but the
mtd_erase_callback() function was (until previous patch) grossly abused
in U-Boot's mtdpart implementation for completely different purpose.

Since we got rid of the abusement, remove the mtd_erase_callback()
function and the .callback member from struct erase_info entirely, in
order to avoid such problems in the future.

9f6a14c47f spl: fit: nand: fix fit loading in case of bad blocks
The offset at which the image to be loaded from NAND is located is
retrieved from the itb header. The presence of bad blocks in the area
of the NAND where the itb image is located could invalidate the offset
which must therefore be adjusted taking into account the state of the
sectors concerned.

83d290c56f SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style
When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

004a1fdb45 nand: yaffs: Remove the "nand write.yaffs" command
This command is only enabled by one board, complicates the NAND code,
and doesn't appear to have been functioning properly for several
years.  If there are no bad blocks in the NAND region being written
nand_write_skip_bad() will take the shortcut of calling nand_write()
which bypasses the special yaffs handling.  This causes invalid YAFFS
data to be written. See
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-September/102830.html for
an example and a potential workaround.

U-Boot still retains the ability to mount and access YAFFS partitions
via CONFIG_YAFFS2.

dfe64e2c89 mtd: resync with Linux-3.7.1
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.

c39d6a0ea5 nand: Extend nand_(read|write)_skip_bad with *actual and limit parameters
We make these two functions take a size_t pointer to how much space
was used on NAND to read or write the buffer (when reads/writes happen)
so that bad blocks can be accounted for.  We also make them take an
loff_t limit on how much data can be read or written.  This means that
we can now catch the case of when writing to a partition would exceed
the partition size due to bad blocks.  To do this we also need to make
check_skip_len count not just complete blocks used but partial ones as
well.  All callers of nand_(read|write)_skip_bad are adjusted to call
these with the most sensible limits available.

The changes were started by Pantelis and finished by Tom.

3048632251 nand erase: .spread, .part, .chip subcommands
A while back, in http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-June/054428.html,
Michele De Candia posted a patch to not count bad blocks toward the

something like $filesize, but not when you're trying to erase a partition.

Thus, a .spread subcommand (named for consistency with
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-August/075163.html) is introduced
to make explicit the user's desire to erase for a given amount of data,
rather than to erase a specific region of the chip.

While passing $filesize to "nand erase" is useful, accidentally passing
something like $fliesize currently produces quite unpleasant results, as the
variable evaluates to nothing and U-Boot assumes that you want to erase
the entire rest of the chip/partition.  To improve the safety of the
erase command, require the user to make explicit their intentions by
using a .part or .chip subcommand.  This is an incompatible user interface
change, but keeping compatibility would eliminate the safety gain, and IMHO
it's worth it.

While touching nand_erase_opts(), make it accept 64-bit offsets and sizes,
fix the percentage display when erase length is rounded up, eliminate
an inconsistent warning about rounding up the erase length which only
happened when the length was less than one block (rounding up for $filesize
is normal operation), and add a diagnostic if there's an attempt to erase
beginning at a non-block boundary.

c9f7351b5b NAND: environment offset in OOB (CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB)
This is a re-submission of the patch by Harald Welte
<laforge@openmoko.org> with minor modifications for rebase and changes
as suggested by Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> [1] [2].

This patch enables the environment partition to have a run-time dynamic
location (offset) in the NAND flash.  The reason for this is simply that
all NAND flashes have factory-default bad blocks, and a fixed compile
time offset would mean that sometimes the environment partition would
live inside factory bad blocks. Since the number of factory default
blocks can be quite high (easily 1.3MBytes in current standard
components), it is not economic to keep that many spare blocks inside
the environment partition.

With this patch and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB enabled, the location of the
environment partition is stored in the out-of-band (OOB) data of the
first block in flash. Since the first block is where most systems boot
from, the vendors guarantee that the first block is not a factory
default block.

This patch introduces the 'nand env.oob' command, which can be called
from the u-boot command line. 'nand env.oob get' reads the address of
the environment partition from the OOB data, 'nand env.oob set
{offset,partition-name}' allows the setting of the marker by specifying
a numeric offset or a partition name.

be33b046b5 Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal.  Any boards that use this
were already not building in the previous release due to an #error.

The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND,
and it has also been removed.  There is newer disk on chip code
in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient
time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk
on chip is not supported.

378adfcdf4 mtd: nand: use loff_t for offset
nand_util currently uses size_t which is arch dependent and not always a
unsigned long.  Now use loff_t, as does the linux mtd layer.

69fb8be4fc NAND: move board_nand_init to nand.h
Rather than putting the function prototype for board_nand_init() in the one
place where it gets called, put it into nand.h so that every place that also
defines it gets the prototype.  Otherwise, errors can go silently unnoticed
such as using the wrong return value (void rather than int) when defining
the function.
