[PATCH 0/5] mtd: Simplify erase handling

[Boris Brezillon]

Hello,

This series aims at simplifying erase handling both in MTD drivers and
MTD users code.

Historically, the erase operation has been designed to be asynchronous,
which, in theory, is a good thing since erasing a block usually takes
longer that reading/writing to a flash. In practice, all drivers are
implementing ->_erase() in a synchronous manner. Moreover, both drivers
and users are inconsistently updating/checking the erase_info fields.

In order to simplify things, let's assume ->_erase() is and will always
be synchronous. This also make error code checking more consistent and
allows us to get rid of a few hundred lines of code.

Regards,

Boris

Boris Brezillon (5):
  mtd: Initialize ->fail_addr early in mtd_erase()
  mtd: Get rid of unused fields in struct erase_info
  mtd: Stop assuming mtd_erase() is asynchronous
  mtd: Unconditionally update ->fail_addr and ->addr in part_erase()
  mtd: Stop updating erase_info->state and calling mtd_erase_callback()
