Dan Ehrenberg a62c24d755 mtd: part: Add sysfs variable for offset of partition
This patch makes a sysfs variable called 'offset' on each partition
which contains the offset in bytes from the beginning of the master
device that the partition starts.

Ezequiel Garcia 990a3af0c2 mtd: Add sysfs attributes to expose the ECC stats fields
These new sysfs device attributes allow us to retrieve the ECC and bad
block stats by poking a sysfs file, which is often more convenient than
using the ioctl.

Huang Shijie f48372465f mtd: add MTD_MLCNANDFLASH case for mtd_type_show()
The current mtd_type_show() misses the MTD_MLCNANDFLASH case.
This patch adds the case for it, and also updates the ABI.

Artem Bityutskiy 880113eff2 Documentation: mtd: amend the sysfs docs after mtdchar merge
The mtdchar module was merged with the mtdcore module, which means that the
MTD_CHAR Kconfig symbol does not exist any more.

Mike Dunn 021796b892 mtd: ABI documentation: clarification of bitflip_threshold
The -EUCLEAN return value applies to mtd_read_oob() as well as mtd_read(), but
only mtd_read() was mentioned in the blurd on bitflip_threshold in the ABI
documentation.

Mike Dunn edbc4540e0 mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN
The drivers' _read() method, absent an error, returns a non-negative integer
indicating the maximum number of bit errors that were corrected in any one
region comprising an ecc step.  MTD returns -EUCLEAN if this is >=
bitflip_threshold, 0 otherwise.  If bitflip_threshold is zero, the comparison is
not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error
case (thanks Brian)¹.  Note that this is a subtle change to the driver
interface.

This and the preceding patches in this set were tested with ubi on top of the
nandsim and docg4 devices, running the ubi test io_basic from mtd-utils.

Mike Dunn d062d4ede8 mtd: bitflip_threshold added to mtd_info and sysfs
An element 'bitflip_threshold' is added to struct mtd_info, and also exposed as
a read/write variable in sysfs.  This will be used to determine whether or not
mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN or 0 (absent a hard error).  If the driver leaves it
as zero, mtd will set it to a default value of ecc_strength.

This v2 adds the line that propagates bitflip_threshold from the master to the
partitions - thanks Ivan¹.
