struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest size. Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now. A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be removed altogether in the future. Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe() regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.

* Partition definition structure:

|
|
* An array of struct partition is passed along with a MTD object to
|
|
* add_mtd_partitions() to create them.
|
|
*
|
|
* For each partition, these fields are available:
|
|
* name: string that will be used to label the partition's MTD device.
|
|
* size: the partition size; if defined as MTDPART_SIZ_FULL, the partition
|
|
* will extend to the end of the master MTD device.
|
|
* offset: absolute starting position within the master MTD device; if
|
|
* defined as MTDPART_OFS_APPEND, the partition will start where the
|
|
* previous one ended; if MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK, at the next erase block.
|
|
* mask_flags: contains flags that have to be masked (removed) from the
|
|
* master MTD flag set for the corresponding MTD partition.
|
|
* For example, to force a read-only partition, simply adding
|
|
* MTD_WRITEABLE to the mask_flags will do the trick.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: writeable partitions require their size and offset be
|
|
* erasesize aligned (e.g. use MTDPART_OFS_NEXTBLK).
