69423d99fc [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

467622ef2a [MTD] [NOR] Fix cfi_send_gen_cmd handling of x16 devices in x8 mode (v4)
For "unlock" cycles to 16bit devices in 8bit compatibility mode we need
to use the byte addresses 0xaaa and 0x555. These effectively match
the word address 0x555 and 0x2aa, except the latter has its low bit set.

Most chips don't care about the value of the 'A-1' pin in x8 mode,
but some -- like the ST M29W320D -- do. So we need to be careful to
set it where appropriate.

cfi_send_gen_cmd is only ever passed addresses where the low byte
is 0x00, 0x55 or 0xaa. Of those, only addresses ending 0xaa are
affected by this patch, by masking in the extra low bit when the device
is known to be in compatibility mode.

[dwmw2: Do it only when (cmd_ofs & 0xff) == 0xaa]
v4: Fix  stupid typo in cfi_build_cmd_addr that failed to compile
    I'm writing this patch way to late at night.
v3: Bring all of the work back into cfi_build_cmd_addr
    including calling of map_bankwidth(map) and cfi_interleave(cfi)
    So every caller doesn't need to.
v2: Only modified the address if we our device_type is larger than our
    bus width.

e93cafe45f [MTD] [NOR] cfi_cmdset_0001: Timeouts for erase, write and unlock operations
Timeouts are currently given by the typical operation time times 8.
It works in the general well-behaved case but not when an erase block is
failing. For erase operations, it seems that a failing erase block will
keep the device state machine in erasing state until the vendor
specified maximum timeout period has passed. By this time the driver
would have long since timed out, left erasing state and attempted
further operations which all fail. This patch implements timeouts using
values from the CFI Query structure when available.
The patch also sets a longer timeout for locking operations. The current
value used for locking/unlocking given by 1000000/HZ microseconds is too
short for devices like J3 and J5 Strataflash which have a typical clear
lock-bits time of 0.5 seconds.

2e489e077a [MTD] [NOR] Add qry_mode_on()/qry_omde_off() to deal with odd chips
There are some CFI chips which require non standard procedures to get 
into QRY mode. The possible way to support them would be trying 
different modes till QRY will be read. This patch introduce two new 
functions qry_mode_on qry_mode_off. qry_mode_on tries different commands 
in order switch chip into QRY mode.

So if we have one more "odd" chip - we just could add several lines to 
qry_mode_on. Also using these functions remove unnecessary code 
duplicaton in porbe procedure.

Currently there are two "odd" cases
1. Some old intel chips which require 0xFF before 0x98
2. ST M29DW chip which requires 0x98 to be sent at 0x555 (according to
CFI should be 0x55)

This patch is partialy based on the patch from Uwe
(see "[PATCH 2/4] [RFC][MTD] cfi_probe: remove Intel chip workaround"

388bbb09b9 [MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointer
MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver
allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight
recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes.

Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel
continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel
oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will
not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be
called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to
flash.

This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can
optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is
only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic
and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be
running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to
ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).

866136827b UBI: introduce atomic LEB change ioctl
We have to be able to change individual LEBs for utilities like
ubifsck, ubifstune. For example, ubifsck has to be able to fix
errors on the media, ubifstune has to be able to change the
the superblock, hence this ioctl.
