67b967ddd9 mtd: Introduce an expert mode for forensics and debugging purposes
When developping NAND controller drivers or when debugging filesystem
corruptions, it is quite common to need hacking locally into the
MTD/NAND core in order to get access to the content of the bad
blocks. Instead of having multiple implementations out there let's
provide a simple yet effective specific MTD-wide debugfs entry to fully
disable these checks on purpose.

A warning is added to inform the user when this mode gets enabled.

6b0c3b8415 mtd: nand: Add helpers to manage ECC engines and configurations
Add the logic in the NAND core to find the right ECC engine depending
on the NAND chip requirements and the user desires. Right now, the
choice may be made between (more will come):
* software Hamming
* software BCH
* on-die (SPI-NAND devices only)

Once the ECC engine has been found, the ECC engine must be
configured.

377e517b5f mtd: nand: Add max_bad_eraseblocks_per_lun info to memorg
NAND datasheets usually give the maximum number of bad blocks per LUN
and this number can be used to help upper layers decide how much blocks
they should reserve for bad block handling.

Add a max_bad_eraseblocks_per_lun to the nand_memory_organization
struct and update the NAND_MEMORG() macro (and its users) accordingly.

We also provide a default mtd->_max_bad_blocks() implementation.

23566c3798 mtd: nand: Fix nanddev_mtd_erase()
Commit e7bfb3fdbd ("mtd: Stop updating erase_info->state and calling
mtd_erase_callback()") removed the einfo->state field and the
MTD_ERASE_XXX macros. At the same time, the generic NAND layer was added
and made sure to update the erase info state.

It did not result in a build failure after merging the nand/for-4.17
branch in mtd/next because the generic NAND layer is not selected yet.
Let's fix that before a config option starts selecting MTD_NAND_CORE.

Fixes: e7bfb3fdbd ("mtd: Stop updating erase_info->state and calling mtd_erase_callback()")

9c3736a3de mtd: nand: Add core infrastructure to deal with NAND devices
Add an intermediate layer to abstract NAND device interface so that
some logic can be shared between SPI NANDs, parallel/raw NANDs,
OneNANDs, ...
