[PATCH v5 1/2] mtd: rawnand: rockchip: fix oobfree offset and description

[Johan Jonker]

Rockchip boot blocks are written per 4 x 512 byte sectors per page.
Each page with boot blocks must have a page address (PA) pointer in OOB
to the next page.

The currently advertised free OOB area starts at offset 6, like
if 4 PA bytes were located right after the BBM. This is wrong as the
PA bytes are located right before the ECC bytes.

Fix the layout by allowing access to all bytes between the BBM and the
PA bytes instead of reserving 4 bytes right after the BBM.

This change breaks existing jffs2 users.

Example:

Wrong free OOB offset starts at OOB6:
oob_region->offset = NFC_SYS_DATA_SIZE + 2;
                   = 4 + 2
                   = 6

oob_region->length = rknand->metadata_size - NFC_SYS_DATA_SIZE - 2;
                   = 32 - 4 - 2
                   = 26

Together with this length above it overlaps a reserved space for the
boot blocks Page Address(PA)

chip->oob_poi buffer layout for 8 steps:

BBM0   BBM1  OOB2  OOB3  | OOB4  OOB5  OOB6  OOB7

OOB8   OOB9  OOB10 OOB11 | OOB12 OOB13 OOB15 OOB15
OOB16  OOB17 OOB18 OOB19 | OOB20 OOB21 OOB22 OOB23

OOB24  OOB25 OOB26 OOB27 | PA0   PA1   PA2   PA3

ECC0   ECC1  ECC2  ECC3  | ...   ...   ...   ...

Fix by new offset at OOB2:
oob_region->offset = 2;

The full range of free OOB with 8 steps runs from OOB2
till/including OOB27.
