[PATCH v3 0/8] Introduction to SPI NAND framework

[Peter Pan]

First of all, thanks for Boris Brezillon, Arnaud Mouiche and
Thomas Petazzoni. This v3 cannot come out without your valuable
comments on v2.

This series introductes a SPI NAND framework.
SPI NAND is a new NAND family device with SPI protocol as
its interface. And its command set is totally different
with parallel NAND.

Our first attempt was more than 2 years ago[1]. At that
time, I didn't make BBT shareable and there were too many
duplicate code with parallel NAND, so that serie stoped.
But the discussion never stops. Now Boris has a plan to
make a generic NAND framework which can be shared with
both parallel and SPI NAND. Now the first step of the
new generic NAND framework is finished. And it is waiting
for a user. After discussion with Boris. We both think it's
time to rebuild SPI NAND framework based on the new NAND
framework and send out for reviewing.

This series is based on Boris's nand/generic branch[2], which
is on 4.11-rc1. In this serie, BBT code is totally shared.
Of course SPI NAND can share more code with parallel, this
requires to put more in new NAND core (now only BBT included).
I'd like to send this serie out first, then we can decide
which part should be in new NAND core.

This series only supports basic SPI NAND features and uses
generic spi controller for data transfer, on-die ECC for data
correction. Support advanced features and specific SPI NAND
controller with hardware ECC is the next step.

This series is tested on Xilinx Zedboard with Micron
MT29F2G01ABAGDSF SPI NAND chip.

v3 changes:
- rebase patch on 4.11-rc1[1]
- change read ID method. read 4 bytes ID out then let ->detect() of each
  manufacutre driver to decode ID and detect the device.
- make SPI NAND id table private to each manufacutre driver
- fix coding style to make checkpatch.pl happy
- update the MAINTAINERS file for spi nand code
- add nand_size() helper in nand.h
- use nand_for_each_page() helper in spinand_do_read/write_ops()
- create helper to check boundaries in generic NAND code and use it
  in SPI NAND core
- rename spinand_base.c to core.c
- manufactures' drivers expose spinand_manufacturer struct instead of
  spinand_manufacturer_ops struct to keep Manufacture ID macro in
  manufactures' drivers and rename spinand_ids.c to manufacture.c
- rename spinand_micron.c to micron.c
- rename chips/ directory to controllers/
- rename generic_spi.c to generic-spi.c
- replace ->build_column_addr() and ->get_dummy() hooks with ->prepare_op() in
  spinand_manufacturer_ops struct
- rename __spinand_erase() to spinand_erase()
- rename spinand_erase() to spinand_erase_skip_bbt()
- rename spinand_scan_ident() to spinand_detect()
- rename spinand_scan_tail() to spinand_init()
- move non detect related code from spinand_detect() to spinand_init()
- remove spinand_fill_nandd, assign nand->ops in spinand_detect()
- merge v2 patch 3(bad block support) and patch 4(BBT support)
- drop getchip parameter, remove spinand_get/remove_device(), take the lock
  by caller directly
- fix function comment headers
- use nand_bbt_is_initialized() helper
- replace spinand_ecc_engine and spinand_controller object in spinand_device
  struct with pointer
- replace struct spinand_manufacturer_ops pointer in spinand_device struct
  with spinand_manufacturer struct


v2 changes:
- replace "spi_nand" with "spinand".
- rename spi nand related structs for better understanding.
- introduce spi nand controller, manufacturer and ecc_engine struct.
- add spi nand manufacturer initialization function refer to Boris's
  manuf-init branch.
- remove NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN from series. Add it later when enabling HW ECC.
- reorganize series according to Boris's suggestion.
