3048632251 nand erase: .spread, .part, .chip subcommands
A while back, in http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-June/054428.html,
Michele De Candia posted a patch to not count bad blocks toward the
requested size to be erased.  This is desireable when you're passing in
something like $filesize, but not when you're trying to erase a partition.

Thus, a .spread subcommand (named for consistency with
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-August/075163.html) is introduced
to make explicit the user's desire to erase for a given amount of data,
rather than to erase a specific region of the chip.

While passing $filesize to "nand erase" is useful, accidentally passing
something like $fliesize currently produces quite unpleasant results, as the
variable evaluates to nothing and U-Boot assumes that you want to erase
the entire rest of the chip/partition.  To improve the safety of the
erase command, require the user to make explicit their intentions by
using a .part or .chip subcommand.  This is an incompatible user interface
change, but keeping compatibility would eliminate the safety gain, and IMHO
it's worth it.

While touching nand_erase_opts(), make it accept 64-bit offsets and sizes,
fix the percentage display when erase length is rounded up, eliminate
an inconsistent warning about rounding up the erase length which only
happened when the length was less than one block (rounding up for $filesize
is normal operation), and add a diagnostic if there's an attempt to erase
beginning at a non-block boundary.

c9f7351b5b NAND: environment offset in OOB (CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB)
This is a re-submission of the patch by Harald Welte
<laforge@openmoko.org> with minor modifications for rebase and changes
as suggested by Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> [1] [2].

This patch enables the environment partition to have a run-time dynamic
location (offset) in the NAND flash.  The reason for this is simply that
all NAND flashes have factory-default bad blocks, and a fixed compile
time offset would mean that sometimes the environment partition would
live inside factory bad blocks. Since the number of factory default
blocks can be quite high (easily 1.3MBytes in current standard
components), it is not economic to keep that many spare blocks inside
the environment partition.

With this patch and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB enabled, the location of the
environment partition is stored in the out-of-band (OOB) data of the
first block in flash. Since the first block is where most systems boot
from, the vendors guarantee that the first block is not a factory
default block.

This patch introduces the 'nand env.oob' command, which can be called
from the u-boot command line. 'nand env.oob get' reads the address of
the environment partition from the OOB data, 'nand env.oob set
{offset,partition-name}' allows the setting of the marker by specifying
a numeric offset or a partition name.

be33b046b5 Remove legacy NAND and disk on chip code.
Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal.  Any boards that use this
were already not building in the previous release due to an #error.

The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND,
and it has also been removed.  There is newer disk on chip code
in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient
time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk
on chip is not supported.

69fb8be4fc NAND: move board_nand_init to nand.h
Rather than putting the function prototype for board_nand_init() in the one
place where it gets called, put it into nand.h so that every place that also
defines it gets the prototype.  Otherwise, errors can go silently unnoticed
such as using the wrong return value (void rather than int) when defining
the function.

e4c0950854 NAND boot: MPC8313ERDB support
Note that with older board revisions, NAND boot may only work after a
power-on reset, and not after a warm reset.  I don't have a newer board
to test on; if you have a board with a 33MHz crystal, please let me know
if it works after a warm reset.

cfa460adfd Update MTD to that of Linux 2.6.22.1
A lot changed in the Linux MTD code, since it was last ported from
Linux to U-Boot. This patch takes U-Boot NAND support to the level
of Linux 2.6.22.1 and will enable support for very large NAND devices
(4KB pages) and ease the compatibility between U-Boot and Linux
filesystems.

This patch is tested on two custom boards with PPC and ARM
processors running YAFFS in U-Boot and Linux using gcc-4.1.2
cross compilers.

MAKEALL ppc/arm has some issues:
 * DOC/OneNand/nand_spl is not building (I have not tried porting
   these parts, and since I do not have any HW and I am not familiar
   with this code/HW I think its best left to someone else.)

Except for the issues mentioned above, I have ported all drivers
necessary to run MAKEALL ppc/arm without errors and warnings. Many
drivers were trivial to port, but some were not so trivial. The
following drivers must be examined carefully and maybe rewritten to
some degree:
 cpu/ppc4xx/ndfc.c
 cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/nand.c
 board/delta/nand.c
 board/zylonite/nand.c

9d2e3947b2 NAND: ifdef-protect most of nand.h when using legacy NAND.
Some macros such as NAND_CTL_SETALE conflict between current and legacy
NAND, being defined by the subsystem in the former case and the board
config file in the latter.
