Commit c7b28e25cb ("mtd: nand: refactor BB
marker detection") caused a regression in detection of factory-set bad
block markers, especially for certain small-page NAND. This fix removes
some unneeded constraints on using NAND_SMALL_BADBLOCK_POS, making the
detection code more correct.
This regression can be seen, for example, in Hynix HY27US081G1M and
similar.

This is an update that depends on the previous patches I sent.
We can now write to all the appropriate BB marker locations (i.e.
pages 1 AND 2, bytes 1 AND 6) with nand_default_block_markbad() if
necessary, according to the flags marked in chip->options.
Note that I removed the line:
ofs += mtd->oobsize;

This is a revision to PATCH 2/2 that I sent. Link:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-July/030911.html
Added new flag for scanning of both bytes 1 and 6 of the OOB for
a BB marker (instead of simply one or the other).
The "check_pattern" and "check_short_pattern" functions were updated
to include support for scanning the two different locations in the OOB.
In order to handle increases in variety of necessary scanning patterns,
I implemented dynamic memory allocation of nand_bbt_descr structs
in new function 'nand_create_default_bbt_descr()'. This replaces
some increasingly-unwieldy, statically-declared descriptors. It can
replace several more (e.g. "flashbased" structs). However, I do not
test the flashbased options personally.
How this was tested:
I referenced 30+ data sheets (covering 100+ parts), and I tested a
selection of 10 different chips to varying degrees. Particularly, I
tested the creation of bad-block descriptors and basic BB scanning on
three parts:
ST NAND04GW3B2D, 2K page
ST NAND128W3A, 512B page
Samsung K9F1G08U0A, 2K page
To test these, I wrote some fake bad block markers to the flash (in OOB
bytes 1, 6, and elsewhere) to see if the scanning routine would detect
them properly. However, this method was somewhat limited because the
driver I am using has some bugs in its OOB write functionality.

Some level of support for various scanning locations was already built in,
but this required clean-up. First, BB marker location cannot be determined
_only_ by the page size. Instead, I implemented some heuristic detection
based on data sheets from various manufacturers (all found in
nand_base.c:nand_get_flash_type()).
Second, once these options were identified, they were not handled properly
by nand_bbt.c:nand_default_bbt(). I updated the static nand_bbt_desc structs
to reflect the need for more combinations of detection. The memory allocation
here probably needs to be done dynamically in the very near future (see next
patches).

its previous flag value (0x00000400) conflicted with NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES

This is a slightly modified version of a patch submitted last year by
Reuben Dowle <reuben.dowle@navico.com>. His original comments follow:
This patch adds support for some MLC NAND flashes that place the BB
marker in the LAST page of the bad block rather than the FIRST page used
for SLC NAND and other types of MLC nand.
Lifted from Samsung datasheet for K9LG8G08U0A (1Gbyte MLC NAND):
"
Identifying Initial Invalid Block(s)
All device locations are erased(FFh) except locations where the initial
invalid block(s) information is written prior to shipping. The initial
invalid block(s) status is defined by the 1st byte in the spare area.
Samsung makes sure that the last page of every initial invalid block has
non-FFh data at the column address of 2,048.
...
"
As far as I can tell, this is the same for all Samsung MLC nand, and in
fact the samsung bsp for the processor used in our project (s3c6410)
actually contained a hack similar to this patch but less portable to
enable use of their NAND parts. I discovered this problem when trying to
use a Micron NAND which does not used this layout - I wish samsung would
put their stuff in main-line to avoid this type of problem.
Currently this patch causes all MLC nand with manufacturer codes from
Samsung and ST(Numonyx) to use this alternative location, since these
are the manufactures that I know of that use this layout.

Some of the newer MLC devices have a 6-byte ID sequence in which
several field definitions differ from older chips in a manner that is
not backward compatible. For instance:
Samsung K9GAG08U0M (5-byte sequence): ec d5 14 b6 74
4th byte, bits 1:0 encode the page size: 0=1KiB, 1=2KiB, 2=4KiB, 3=8KiB
4th byte, bits 5:4 encode the block size: 0=64KiB, 1=128KiB, ...
4th byte, bit 6 encodes the OOB size: 0=8B/512B, 1=16B/512B
Samsung K9GAG08U0D (6-byte sequence): ec d5 94 29 34 41
4th byte, bits 1:0 encode the page size: 0=2KiB, 1=4KiB, 3=8KiB, 4=rsvd
4th byte, bits 7;5:4 encode the block size: 0=128KiB, 1=256KiB, ...
4th byte, bits 6;3:2 encode the OOB size: 1=128B/page, 2=218B/page
This patch uses the new 6-byte scheme if the following conditions are
all true:
1) The ID code wraps around after exactly 6 bytes
2) Manufacturer is Samsung
3) 6th byte is zero
The patch also extends the maximum OOB size from 128B to 256B.

The syndrome based page read/write routines store ECC, and possibly other
"OOB" data, right after each chunk of ECC'd data. With ECC chunk size of
512 bytes and a large page (2KiB) NAND, the layout is:
data-0 OOB-0 data-1 OOB-1 data-2 OOB-2 data-3 OOB-3 OOB-leftover
Where OOBx is (prepad, ECC, postpad). However, the current "raw" routines
use a traditional layout -- data OOB, disregarding the prepad and postpad
values -- so when they're used with that type of ECC hardware, those calls
mix up the data and OOB. Which means, in particular, that bad block
tables won't be found on startup, with data corruption and related chaos
ensuing.
The current syndrome-based drivers in mainline all seem to use one chunk
per page; presumably they haven't noticed such bugs.
Fix this, by adding read/write page_raw_syndrome() routines as siblings of
the existing non-raw routines; "raw" just means to bypass the ECC
computations, not change data and OOB layout.

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged. Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one
needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.
Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.
In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
- printk message formats
- division and modulus of 64-bit values
- NAND base support
- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
