mtd: nand: do not ignore all ECC errors
There are a few reasons not to ignore ECC errors here.
First, mtd->read_oob is being called in raw mode, so there should be no
error correction in the first place.
Second, if we change this such that there *is* error correction in this
function, then we will want to pass the error message upward.
In fact, the code I introduced to "ignore ECC errors" would have been
better if it had just placed this test down in `scan_block_full()' in
the first place. We would like to ignore ECC errors when we are simply
checking for bad block markers (e.g., factory marked), but we may not
want to ignore ECC errors when scanning OOB for a flash-based BBT
pattern (in `scan_read_raw()'; note that the return codes from
`scan_read_raw()' are not actually handled yet).

mtd: add MEMWRITE ioctl
Implement a new ioctl for writing both page data and OOB to flash at the
same time. This ioctl is intended to be a generic interface that can
replace other ioctls (MEMWRITEOOB and MEMWRITEOOB64) and cover the
functionality of several other old ones, e.g., MEMWRITE can:
* write autoplaced OOB instead of using ECCGETLAYOUT (deprecated) and
working around the reserved areas
* write raw (no ECC) OOB instead of using MTDFILEMODE to set the
per-file-descriptor MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW
* write raw (no ECC) data instead of using MTDFILEMODE
(MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW) and using standard character device "write"
This ioctl is especially useful for MLC NAND, which cannot be written
twice (i.e., we cannot successfully write the page data and OOB in two
separate operations). Instead, MEMWRITE can write both in a single
operation.
Note that this ioctl is not affected by the MTD file mode (i.e.,
MTD_FILE_MODE_RAW vs. MTD_FILE_MODE_NORMAL), since it receives its write
mode as an input parameter.

mtd: support reading OOB without ECC
This fixes issues with `nanddump -n' and the MEMREADOOB[64] ioctls on
hardware that performs error correction when reading only OOB data. A
driver for such hardware needs to know when we're doing a RAW vs. a
normal write, but mtd_do_read_oob does not pass such information to the
lower layers (e.g., NAND). We should pass MTD_OOB_RAW or MTD_OOB_PLACE
based on the MTD file mode.
For now, most drivers can get away with just setting:
chip->ecc.read_oob_raw = chip->ecc.read_oob
This is done by default; but for systems that behave as described above,
you must supply your own replacement function.

mtd: support writing OOB without ECC
This fixes issues with `nandwrite -n -o' and the MEMWRITEOOB[64] ioctls
on hardware that writes ECC when writing OOB. The problem arises as
follows: `nandwrite -n' can write page data to flash without applying
ECC, but when used with the `-o' option, ECC is applied (incorrectly),
contrary to the `--noecc' option.
I found that this is the case because my hardware computes and writes
ECC data to flash upon either OOB write or page write. Thus, to support
a proper "no ECC" write, my driver must know when we're performing a raw
OOB write vs. a normal ECC OOB write. However, MTD does not pass any raw
mode information to the write_oob functions. This patch addresses the
problems by:
1) Passing MTD_OOB_RAW down to lower layers, instead of just defaulting
to MTD_OOB_PLACE
2) Handling MTD_OOB_RAW within the NAND layer's `nand_do_write_oob'
3) Adding a new (replaceable) function pointer in struct ecc_ctrl; this
function should support writing OOB without ECC data. Current
hardware often can use the same OOB write function when writing
either with or without ECC
This was tested with nandsim as well as on actual SLC NAND.

mtd: do not assume oobsize is power of 2
Previous generations of MTDs all used OOB sizes that were powers of 2,
(e.g., 64, 128). However, newer generations of flash, especially NAND,
use irregular OOB sizes that are not powers of 2 (e.g., 218, 224, 448).
This means we cannot use masks like "mtd->oobsize - 1" to assume that we
will get a proper bitmask for OOB operations.
These masks are really only intended to hide the "page" portion of the
offset, leaving any OOB offset intact, so a masking with the writesize
(which *is* always a power of 2) is valid and makes more sense.

mtd: nand_base: always initialise oob_poi before writing OOB data
In nand_do_write_ops() code it is possible for a caller to provide
ops.oobbuf populated and ops.mode == MTD_OOB_AUTO, which currently
means that the chip->oob_poi buffer isn't initialised to all 0xFF.
The nand_fill_oob() method then carries out the task of copying
the provided OOB data to oob_poi, but with MTD_OOB_AUTO it skips
areas marked as unavailable by the layout struct, including the
bad block marker bytes.
An example of this causing issues is when the last OOB data read
was from the start of a bad block where the markers are not 0xFF,
and the caller wishes to write new OOB data at the beginning of
another block. In this scenario the caller would provide OOB data,
but nand_fill_oob() would skip the bad block marker bytes in
oob_poi before copying the OOB data provided by the caller.
This means that when the OOB data is written back to NAND,
the block is inadvertently marked as bad without the caller knowing.
This has been witnessed when using YAFFS2 where tags are stored
in the OOB.
To avoid this oob_poi is always initialised to 0xFF to make sure
no left over data is inadvertently written back to the OOB area.
