Initialization of 'erase_info->fail_addr' to MTD_FAIL_ADDR_UNKNOWN prior
erase operation is duplicated accross several MTD drivers, and also taken
care of by some MTD users as well.
Harmonize it: initialize 'fail_addr' within 'mtd_erase()' interface.

Flash device drivers initialize 'ecc_strength' in struct mtd_info, which is the
maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one writesize region.
Drivers using the nand interface intitialize 'strength' in struct nand_ecc_ctrl,
which is the maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one ecc step.
Nand infrastructure code translates this to 'ecc_strength'.
Also for nand drivers, the nand infrastructure code sets ecc.strength for ecc
modes NAND_ECC_SOFT, NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, and NAND_ECC_NONE. It is set in the
driver for all other modes.

The MTD API function now zero the 'retlen' parameter before calling
the driver's method — do not do this again in drivers. This removes
duplicated '*retlen = 0' assignent from the following methods:
'mtd_point()'
'mtd_read()'
'mtd_write()'
'mtd_writev()'
'mtd_panic_write()'

We already verify that offset and length are within the MTD device size
in the MTD API functions. Let's remove the duplicated checks in drivers.
This patch only affects the following API's:
'mtd_erase()'
'mtd_point()'
'mtd_unpoint()'
'mtd_get_unmapped_area()'
'mtd_read()'
'mtd_write()'
'mtd_panic_write()'
'mtd_lock()'
'mtd_unlock()'
'mtd_is_locked()'
'mtd_block_isbad()'
'mtd_block_markbad()'
This patch adds a bit of noise by removing too sparse empty lines, but this is
not too bad.

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:
mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob
...
The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:
1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
spot the big API change and amend them.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

What is OTP in OneNAND?
The device includes,
1. one block-sized OTP (One Time Programmable) area and
2. user-controlled 1st block OTP(Block 0)
that can be used to increase system security or to provide
identification capabilities.
What is done?
In OneNAND, one block of the NAND Array is set aside as an OTP
memory area, and 1st Block (Block 0) can be used as OTP area.
This area, available to the user, can be configured and locked
with secured user information. The OTP block can be read,
programmed and locked using the same operations as any other NAND
Flash Array memory block. After issuing an OTP-Lock, OTP block
cannot be erased. OTP block is fully-guaranteed to be a good
block.
Why it is done?
Locking the 1st Block OTP has the effect of a 'Write-protect' to
guard against accidental re-programming of data stored in the 1st
block and OTP Block.
Which problem it solves?
OTP support is provided in the existing implementation of
OneNAND/Flex-OneNAND driver, but it is not working with OneNAND
devices. Have observed the following in current OTP OneNAND Implmentation,
1. DataSheet specific sequence to lock the OTP Area is not followed.
2. Certain functions are quiet generic to cope with OTP specific activity.
This patch re-implements OTP support for OneNAND device.
How it is done?
For all blocks, 8th word is available to the user.
However, in case of OTP Block, 8th word of sector 0, page 0 is reserved as
OTP Locking Bit area. Therefore, in case of OTP Block, user usage on this
area is prohibited. Condition specific values are entered in the 8th word,
sector0, page 0 of the OTP block during the process of issuing an OTP-Lock.
The possible conditions are:
1. Only 1st Block Lock
2. Only OTP Block Lock
3. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Block
What Other feature additions have been done in this patch?
This patch adds feature for:
1. Only 1st Block Lock
2. Lock both the 1st Block and the OTP Blocks
Re-implemented OTP support for OneNAND
Added following features to OneNAND
1. Lock only 1st Block in OneNAND
2. Lock BOTH 1st Block and OTP Block in OneNAND

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
- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
in MEMERASE ioctl
