A lot changed in the Linux MTD code, since it was last ported from
Linux to U-Boot. This patch takes U-Boot NAND support to the level
of Linux 2.6.22.1 and will enable support for very large NAND devices
(4KB pages) and ease the compatibility between U-Boot and Linux
filesystems.
This patch is tested on two custom boards with PPC and ARM
processors running YAFFS in U-Boot and Linux using gcc-4.1.2
cross compilers.
MAKEALL ppc/arm has some issues:
* DOC/OneNand/nand_spl is not building (I have not tried porting
these parts, and since I do not have any HW and I am not familiar
with this code/HW I think its best left to someone else.)
Except for the issues mentioned above, I have ported all drivers
necessary to run MAKEALL ppc/arm without errors and warnings. Many
drivers were trivial to port, but some were not so trivial. The
following drivers must be examined carefully and maybe rewritten to
some degree:
cpu/ppc4xx/ndfc.c
cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/nand.c
board/delta/nand.c
board/zylonite/nand.c

Some macros such as NAND_CTL_SETALE conflict between current and legacy
NAND, being defined by the subsystem in the former case and the board
config file in the latter.

since nand_init() is expected to be called by other parts of u-boot, there
should be a prototype for it in nand.h
