This patch enables Smart Media (SMC) ECC byte ordering which is used
on the PPC4xx NAND FLASH controller (NDFC). Without this patch we have
incompatible ECC byte ordering to the Linux kernel NDFC driver.

This brings the core NAND code up to date with the Linux kernel.
Since there were several drivers in Linux as of the last update that are
not in u-boot, I'm not bringing over new drivers that have been added
since in the absence of an interested party.
I did not update OneNAND since it was recently synced by Kyungmin Park,
and I'm not sure exactly what the common ancestor is.

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
