Like was done in commit 17799359e7
("mtd: nand_bbt: make nand_scan_bbt() static") for the NAND code, this
commit makes the onenand_scan_bbt() function static in the OneNAND
code, since it is only used in onenand_bbt.c itself.
Consequently, the EXPORT_SYMBOL() and declaration in bbm.h are also
removed.

NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY is a strange, badly-supported option with omap as its
single remaining user.
NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY was likely used by accident in omap2[1]. And anyway,
omap2 doesn't scan the chip for bad blocks (courtesy of
NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN), and so its use of this option is irrelevant.
This patch drops the NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY option.

Currently, the flash-based BBT implementation writes bad block data only
to its flash-based table and not to the OOB marker area. Then, as new bad
blocks are marked over time, the OOB markers become incomplete and the
flash-based table becomes the only source of current bad block
information. This becomes an obvious problem when, for example:
* bootloader cannot read the flash-based BBT format
* BBT is corrupted and the flash must be rescanned for bad
blocks; we want to remember bad blocks that were marked from Linux
So to keep the bad block markers in sync with the flash-based BBT, this
patch changes the default so that we write bad block markers to the proper
OOB area on each block in addition to flash-based BBT. Comments are
updated, expanded, and/or relocated as necessary.
The new flash-based BBT procedure for marking bad blocks:
(1) erase the affected block, to allow OOB marker to be written cleanly
(2) update in-memory BBT
(3) write bad block marker to OOB area of affected block
(4) update flash-based BBT
Note that we retain the first error encountered in (3) or (4), finish the
procedures, and dump the error in the end.
This should handle power cuts gracefully enough. (1) and (2) are mostly
harmless (note that (1) will not erase an already-recognized bad block).
The OOB and BBT may be "out of sync" if we experience power loss bewteen
(3) and (4), but we can reasonably expect that on next boot, subsequent
I/O operations will discover that the block should be marked bad again,
thus re-syncing the OOB and BBT.
Note that this is a change from the previous default flash-based BBT
behavior. If your system cannot support writing bad block markers to OOB,
use the new NAND_BBT_NO_OOB_BBM option (in combination with
NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH and NAND_BBT_NO_OOB).

mtd: nand: introduce NAND_CREATE_EMPTY_BBT
This flag is not used within the kernel and not explained well, so I
took the liberty to edit its comments.
Also, this is a BBT-related flag (and closely tied with NAND_BBT_CREATE)
so I'm moving it to bbm.h next to NAND_BBT_CREATE, thus requiring that
we use the flag in nand_chip.bbt_options, *not* in nand_chip.options.

Recall the recently added prefix requirements:
* "NAND_" for flags in nand.h, used in nand_chip.options
* "NAND_BBT_" for flags in bbm.h, used in nand_chip.bbt_options
or in nand_bbt_descr.options
Thus, I am changing NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT to NAND_BBT_USE_FLASH.
Again, this flag is found in bbm.h and so should NOT be used in the
"nand_chip.options" field.

This patch works with the following three flags from two headers (nand.h
and bbm.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.
I removed a small section from the mtdnand DocBook because it referes to
NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT in nand.h, which has been moved to bbm.h.

commit 58373ff0af
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.

The first (sixt) byte in the OOB area contains vendor's bad block
information. During identification of the NAND chip this information is
collected by scanning the complete chip.
The option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT is used to store this information in a sector so
we don't have to scan the complete flash. Unfortunately the code stores
a marker in order to recognize the BBT in the OOB area. This will fail
if the OOB area is completely used for ECC.
This patch introduces the option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB which has to be
used with NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT. It will then store BBT on flash without
touching the OOB area. The BBT format on flash remains same except the
first page starts with the recognition pattern followed by the version byte.
This change was tested in nandsim and it looks good so far :)

This is a revision to PATCH 2/2 that I sent. Link:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-July/030911.html
Added new flag for scanning of both bytes 1 and 6 of the OOB for
a BB marker (instead of simply one or the other).
The "check_pattern" and "check_short_pattern" functions were updated
to include support for scanning the two different locations in the OOB.
In order to handle increases in variety of necessary scanning patterns,
I implemented dynamic memory allocation of nand_bbt_descr structs
in new function 'nand_create_default_bbt_descr()'. This replaces
some increasingly-unwieldy, statically-declared descriptors. It can
replace several more (e.g. "flashbased" structs). However, I do not
test the flashbased options personally.
How this was tested:
I referenced 30+ data sheets (covering 100+ parts), and I tested a
selection of 10 different chips to varying degrees. Particularly, I
tested the creation of bad-block descriptors and basic BB scanning on
three parts:
ST NAND04GW3B2D, 2K page
ST NAND128W3A, 512B page
Samsung K9F1G08U0A, 2K page
To test these, I wrote some fake bad block markers to the flash (in OOB
bytes 1, 6, and elsewhere) to see if the scanning routine would detect
them properly. However, this method was somewhat limited because the
driver I am using has some bugs in its OOB write functionality.

NAND_BB_LAST_PAGE used to be in nand.h, but it pertained to bad block
management and so belongs next to NAND_BBT_SCAN2NDPAGE in bbm.h. Also,
its previous flag value (0x00000400) conflicted with NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES
so I changed its value to 0x00008000. All uses of the name were modified to
