before writing the received buffer to nand, erase the nand
sectors. If not doing this, nand write fails. See for
more info here:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-June/156361.html
Using the nand erase option "spread", maybe overwrite
blocks on, for example another mtd partition, if the
erasing range contains bad blocks.
So a limit option is added to nand_erase_opts()

This patch is essentially an update of u-boot MTD subsystem to
the state of Linux-3.7.1 with exclusion of some bits:
- the update is concentrated on NAND, no onenand or CFI/NOR/SPI
flashes interfaces are updated EXCEPT for API changes.
- new large NAND chips support is there, though some updates
have got in Linux-3.8.-rc1, (which will follow on top of this patch).
To produce this update I used tag v3.7.1 of linux-stable repository.
The update was made using application of relevant patches,
with changes relevant to U-Boot-only stuff sticked together
to keep bisectability. Then all changes were grouped together
to this patch.

We make these two functions take a size_t pointer to how much space
was used on NAND to read or write the buffer (when reads/writes happen)
so that bad blocks can be accounted for. We also make them take an
loff_t limit on how much data can be read or written. This means that
we can now catch the case of when writing to a partition would exceed
the partition size due to bad blocks. To do this we also need to make
check_skip_len count not just complete blocks used but partial ones as
well. All callers of nand_(read|write)_skip_bad are adjusted to call
these with the most sensible limits available.
The changes were started by Pantelis and finished by Tom.

To allow a gradual transition, Boards that don't set
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT will still be initialized the old way, but
new drivers should not require this, and existing drivers should be
converted when convenient.

Add a flag to nand_read_skip_bad() such that if true, any trailing
pages in an eraseblock whose contents are entirely 0xff will be
dropped.
The implementation is via a new drop_ffs() function which is
based on the function of the same name from the ubiformat
utility by Artem Bityutskiy.

In a future commit the behaviour of nand_write_skip_bad()
will be further extended.
Convert the only flag currently passed to the nand_write_
skip_bad() function to a bitfield of only one allocated
member. This should avoid an explosion of int's at the
end of the parameter list or the ambiguous calls like
nand_write_skip_bad(info, offset, len, buf, 0, 1, 1);
nand_write_skip_bad(info, offset, len, buf, 0, 1, 0);
Instead there will be:
nand_write_skip_bad(info, offset, len, buf, WITH_YAFFS_OOB |
WITH_OTHER);

A while back, in http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-June/054428.html,
Michele De Candia posted a patch to not count bad blocks toward the
requested size to be erased. This is desireable when you're passing in
something like $filesize, but not when you're trying to erase a partition.
Thus, a .spread subcommand (named for consistency with
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-August/075163.html) is introduced
to make explicit the user's desire to erase for a given amount of data,
rather than to erase a specific region of the chip.
While passing $filesize to "nand erase" is useful, accidentally passing
something like $fliesize currently produces quite unpleasant results, as the
variable evaluates to nothing and U-Boot assumes that you want to erase
the entire rest of the chip/partition. To improve the safety of the
erase command, require the user to make explicit their intentions by
using a .part or .chip subcommand. This is an incompatible user interface
change, but keeping compatibility would eliminate the safety gain, and IMHO
it's worth it.
While touching nand_erase_opts(), make it accept 64-bit offsets and sizes,
fix the percentage display when erase length is rounded up, eliminate
an inconsistent warning about rounding up the erase length which only
happened when the length was less than one block (rounding up for $filesize
is normal operation), and add a diagnostic if there's an attempt to erase
beginning at a non-block boundary.

This is a re-submission of the patch by Harald Welte
<laforge@openmoko.org> with minor modifications for rebase and changes
as suggested by Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> [1] [2].
This patch enables the environment partition to have a run-time dynamic
location (offset) in the NAND flash. The reason for this is simply that
all NAND flashes have factory-default bad blocks, and a fixed compile
time offset would mean that sometimes the environment partition would
live inside factory bad blocks. Since the number of factory default
blocks can be quite high (easily 1.3MBytes in current standard
components), it is not economic to keep that many spare blocks inside
the environment partition.
With this patch and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB enabled, the location of the
environment partition is stored in the out-of-band (OOB) data of the
first block in flash. Since the first block is where most systems boot
from, the vendors guarantee that the first block is not a factory
default block.
This patch introduces the 'nand env.oob' command, which can be called
from the u-boot command line. 'nand env.oob get' reads the address of
the environment partition from the OOB data, 'nand env.oob set
{offset,partition-name}' allows the setting of the marker by specifying
a numeric offset or a partition name.

Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this
were already not building in the previous release due to an #error.
The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND,
and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code
in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient
time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk
on chip is not supported.

A lot changed in the Linux MTD code, since it was last ported from
Linux to U-Boot. This patch takes U-Boot NAND support to the level
of Linux 2.6.22.1 and will enable support for very large NAND devices
(4KB pages) and ease the compatibility between U-Boot and Linux
filesystems.
This patch is tested on two custom boards with PPC and ARM
processors running YAFFS in U-Boot and Linux using gcc-4.1.2
cross compilers.
MAKEALL ppc/arm has some issues:
* DOC/OneNand/nand_spl is not building (I have not tried porting
these parts, and since I do not have any HW and I am not familiar
with this code/HW I think its best left to someone else.)
Except for the issues mentioned above, I have ported all drivers
necessary to run MAKEALL ppc/arm without errors and warnings. Many
drivers were trivial to port, but some were not so trivial. The
following drivers must be examined carefully and maybe rewritten to
some degree:
cpu/ppc4xx/ndfc.c
cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/nand.c
board/delta/nand.c
board/zylonite/nand.c
