We have only one AG-AND driver and it was not touched since 2005. It looks
like AG-AND was not really make it to mass-production and can be considered
a dead technology.
Along with the AG-AND support, this patch removes the BBT_AUTO_REFRESH feature,
because the only user of this feature is AG-AND. And even though it is
implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do
not really need it in this form.

scan_read_raw_oob() is used in only in places where the MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB mode
is preferable to MTD_OPS_RAW mode, so use MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB instead.
MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB provides the same functionality with the potential[1] added
bonus of error correction.
This brings scan_block_full() in line with scan_block_fast() so that they
both read bad block markers with MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB. This can help in
preventing 0xff markers (in good blocks) from being interpreted as bad
block indicators in the presence of a single bitflip.
Note that ECC error codes (EUCLEAN or EBADMSG) are already silently
ignored in all users of scan_read_raw_oob().
[1] Few drivers perform proper error correction on OOB data. In those
cases, the use of MTD_OPS_RAW vs. MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB is not
significant.

Updates to our default function for creating bad block patterns have
broken the "no OOB" feature. The NAND_BBT_NO_OOB option should not be
set while scanning for bad blocks, but we've been passing all BBT
options from nand_chip.bbt_options to the bad block scan. This causes us
to hit the:
BUG_ON(bd->options & NAND_BBT_NO_OOB);
in create_bbt() when we scan the flash for bad blocks.
Thus, while it can be legal to set NAND_BBT_NO_OOB in a custom badblock
pattern descriptor (presumably with NAND_BBT_CREATE disabled?), we
should not pass it through in our default function.
Also, to help clarify and emphasize that the function creates bad block
patterns only (not, for example, table descriptors for locating
flash-based BBT), I renamed `nand_create_default_bbt_descr' to
`nand_create_badblock_pattern'.

Because there are so many cases of checking, writing, and re-writing of
the bad block table(s), we might as well wait until the we've settled on
a valid, clean copy of the table. This also prevents us from falsely
incrementing the table version. For example, we may have the following:
Primary table, with version 0x02
Mirror table, with version 0x01
Primary table has uncorrectable ECC errors
If we don't have this fix applied, then we will:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Set mirror table version to 0x02
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback operation with mirror table, now version 0x02
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Writeback BBT to primary table location (with "version 0x02")
However, the mirrored table shouldn't have a new version number.
Instead, we actually want:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback with mirror table (version 0x01)
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Set both tables to version 0x01
Writeback BBT to primary table location (version 0x01)

Now that `read_bbt()' returns ECC error codes properly, we handle those
codes when checking the integrity of our flash-based BBT.
The modifications can be described by this new policy:
*) On any uncorrected ECC error, we invalidate the corresponding table
and retry our version-checking integrity logic.
*) On corrected bitflips, we mark both tables for re-writing to flash
(a.k.a. scrubbing).
Current integrity checks (i.e., comparing version numbers, etc.) should
take care of all the cases that result in rescanning the device for bad
blocks or falling back to the BBT as found in the mirror descriptor.

Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we
should return a proper error status and print a more informative
warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers
of the BBT scan.
Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit
more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else"
clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit.
This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.

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).

does not necessarily register all its master `mtd_info.dev` device, so

This patch works with the following three flags from two headers (nand.h

(1) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (nand.h)
(2) NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (nand.h)
(3) NAND_BBT_NO_OOB (bbm.h)
These flags are all related and interdependent, yet they were in
different headers. Flag (2) is simply the combination of (1) and (3) and
can be eliminated.
This patch accomplishes the following:
* eliminate NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB (i.e., flag (2))
* move NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT (i.e., flag (1)) to bbm.h
It's important to note that because (1) and (3) are now both found in
bbm.h, they should NOT be used in the "nand_chip.options" field.

have added a bbt_options field to nand_chip.
Important notes about nand_chip fields:
* bbt_options field should contain ONLY flags from bbm.h. They should be
able to pass safely to a nand_bbt_descr data structure.
- BBT option flags start with the "NAND_BBT_" prefix.
* options field should contian ONLY flags from nand.h. Ideally, they
should not be involved in any BBT related options.
- NAND chip option flags start with the "NAND_" prefix.
* Every flag should have a nice comment explaining what the flag is. While
this is not yet the case on all existing flags, please be sure to write
one for new flags. Even better, you can help document the code better
yourself!
Please try to follow these conventions to make everyone's lives easier.
Among the flags that are being moved to the new bbt_options field
throughout various drivers, etc. are:
* NAND_BBT_SCANLASTPAGE
* NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE

mtd: nand: more BB Detection refactoring and dynamic scan options
According to the discussion at:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-May/035696.html
the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag, although technically valid, can break
some existing ECC layouts that use the 6th byte in the OOB for ECC data.
Furthermore, we apparently do not need to scan both bytes 1 and 6 in
the OOB region of the devices under consideration; instead, we only need
to scan one or the other.
Thus, the NAND_BBT_SCANBYTE1AND6 flag is at best unnecessary and at
worst a regression.
