Several MTD users (either in user or kernel space) expect a valid raw
access support to NAND chip devices.
This is particularly true for testing tools which are often touching the
data stored in a NAND chip in raw mode to artificially generate errors.
The GPMI drivers do not implemenent raw access functions, and thus rely on
default HW_ECC scheme implementation.
The default implementation consider the data and OOB area as properly
separated in their respective NAND section, which is not true for the GPMI
controller.
In this driver/controller some OOB data are stored at the beginning of the
NAND data area (these data are called metadata in the driver), then ECC
bytes are interleaved with data chunk (which is similar to the
HW_ECC_SYNDROME scheme), and eventually the remaining bytes are used as
OOB data.

Add a new function to copy bits (not bytes) from a memory region to
another one.
This function is similar to memcpy except it acts at bit level.
It is needed to implement GPMI raw access functions and adapt to the
hardware ECC engine which does not pad ECC bits to the next byte boundary.

3430LDP has NAND flash with 32 bytes OOB size which is sufficient to hold
BCH8 codes but the small page check introduced in
commit b491da7233 ("mtd: nand: omap: clean-up ecc layout for BCH ecc schemes")
considers anything below 64 bytes unsuitable for BCH4/8/16. There is another
bug in that code where it doesn't skip the check for OMAP_ECC_HAM1_CODE_SW.
Get rid of that small page check code as it is insufficient and redundant
because we are checking for OOB available bytes vs ecc layout before calling
nand_scan_tail().

If there is no PMECC lookup table stored in ROM, or lookup table offset is

That make the PMECC driver work for some board which doesn't have PMECC

The PMECC use the BCH algorithm, so based on the build_gf_tables()
function in lib/bch.c, we can build the Galois Field lookup table.

This replaces kzalloc() and ioremap() calls by devm_ functions
in the probe() routine, which automatically release the corresponding
resources when probe() fails or when the device is removed.
This simplifies simplifies the error management code, and brings
the below improvements or changes:
A. Fixing a bug reported by "make coccicheck":
If "board = devm_kzalloc()" fails, the probe() function jumps
incorrectly to label "no_res" and therefore returns without
running iounmap().
B. Requesting the memory region
Using devm_ioremap_resource() makes the probe() function request
the corresponding memory region before running ioremap(), as
it is supposed to do.
C. Standardizing the error codes:
The use of devm_ioremap_resource() changes the return value:
* -ENOMEM instead of -EIO in case of ioremap() failure,
* -EINVAL instead of -ENODEV in case of platform_get_resource()
failure.

This commit adds a new platform-data boolean property that enables use
of a flash-based bad block table. This can also be enabled by setting
the 'nand-on-flash-bbt' devicetree property.
If the flash BBT is not enabled, the driver falls back to use OOB
bad block markers only, as before. If the flash BBT is enabled the
kernel will keep track of bad blocks using a BBT, in addition to
the OOB markers.
As explained by Brian Norris the reasons for using a BBT are:
""
The primary reason would be that NAND datasheets specify it these days.
A better argument is that nobody guarantees that you can write a
bad block marker to a worn out block; you may just get program failures.
This has been acknowledged by several developers over the last several
years.
Additionally, you get a boot-time performance improvement if you only
have to read a few pages, instead of a page or two from every block on
the flash.
