+ * paired with.
+ * The notion of page is replaced by the term wunit (write-unit) to stay

+ *
+ * The @wunit argument can be extracted from an absolute offset using
+ * mtd_offset_to_wunit(). @info is filled with the pairing information attached
+ * to @wunit.
+ *
+ * From the pairing info the MTD user can find all the wunits paired with
+ * @wunit using the following loop:
+ *
+ * for (i = 0; i < mtd_pairing_groups(mtd); i++) {

+/**
+ * struct mtd_pairing_info - page pairing information
+ *
+ * @pair: pair id
+ * @group: group id
+ *
+ * The term "pair" is used here, even though TLC NANDs might group pages by 3
+ * (3 bits in a single cell). A pair should regroup all pages that are sharing
+ * the same cell. Pairs are then indexed in ascending order.
+ *
+ * @group is defining the position of a page in a given pair. It can also be
+ * seen as the bit position in the cell: page attached to bit 0 belongs to
+ * group 0, page attached to bit 1 belongs to group 1, etc.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * The H27UCG8T2BTR-BC datasheet describes the following pairing scheme:
+ *
+ *		group-0		group-1
+ *
+ *  pair-0	page-0		page-4
+ *  pair-1	page-1		page-5
+ *  pair-2	page-2		page-8
+ *  ...
+ *  pair-127	page-251	page-255
+ *
+ *
+ * Note that the "group" and "pair" terms were extracted from Samsung and
+ * Hynix datasheets, and might be referenced under other names in other
+ * datasheets (Micron is describing this concept as "shared pages").
