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
provide consistency with other "NAND_BBT_*" flags.

This consolidates common code in nand.h and bbm.h. The
comments and data structures were the same, this keeps
the comment from nand.h as it fits 80 columns, while the one
in bbm.h did not.

Provide the bad block scan with its own read function so that important error
messages that are not from the the bad block scan, can always be printed.
