[PATCH] nand_read_subpage vs. S3C244x NAND: non-word reads

[Werner Almesberger]

In recent kernels, the optimized OOB reads in nand_read_subpage often
make requests which aren't an exact multiple of a word, which caused
nand/s3c2410.c to do a partial read, yielding chaos and mayhem.

I'm not entirely sure whether nand_read_subpage is to blame for making
non-word requests, or whether nand/s3c2410.c is to blame for not
supporting them, but here's a patch for the latter.

Note that s3c2410_nand_write_buf has a similar issue. RNDIN is used in
nand_write_oob_syndrome, so this may also be a real problems.

fix-s3c-nand-read-bytes.patch

With the introduction of optimized OOB reads in nand_read_subpage,
the length of the data requested may not be a multiple of four bytes.

This caused a partial read on the 2440, leading to false ECC errors
and, worse, attempts to "correct" them.

Note that there is a similar issue in s3c2440_nand_write_buf, which
doesn't seem to cause trouble yet.
