[PATCH] mtd: nand: gpmi: add proper raw access support

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.

Hello,

This patch is providing raw access support to the GPMI driver which is
particularly useful to run some tests on the NAND (the one coming in
mind is the mtd_nandbiterrs testsuite).

I know this rework might break several user space tools which are relying
on the default raw access implementation (I already experienced an issue
with the kobs-ng tool provided by freescale), but many other tools will
now work as expected.

Huang, Brian, let me know what you think of this approach ?

Best Regards,

Boris
