<content type='text'>
commit be2e1c9dcf76886a83fb1c433a316e26d4ca2550 upstream.

I noticed during the creation of another bugfix that the BCH_CONST_PARAMS
option that is set by DOCG3 breaks setting variable parameters for any
other users of the BCH library code.

The only other user we have today is the MTD_NAND software BCH
implementation (most flash controllers use hardware BCH these days
and are not affected). I considered removing BCH_CONST_PARAMS entirely
because of the inherent conflict, but according to the description in
lib/bch.c there is a significant performance benefit in keeping it.

To avoid the immediate problem of the conflict between MTD_NAND_BCH
and DOCG3, this only sets the constant parameters if MTD_NAND_BCH
is disabled, which should fix the problem for all cases that
are affected. This should also work for all stable kernels.

Note that there is only one machine that actually seems to use the
DOCG3 driver (arch/arm/mach-pxa/mioa701.c), so most users should have
the driver disabled, but it almost certainly shows up if we wanted
to test random kernels on machines that use software BCH in MTD.

commit 834b686552d9018e2d17bd56ac5361b78bcc75b8 upstream.

As stated in a5b7616c5, "mtd: m25p80,spi-nor: Fix module aliases for
m25p80", m25p_ids[] in m25p80.c needs to be kept in sync with
spi_nor_ids[] in spi-nor.c. The change here corrects a misalignment.

(We were missing m25px80 and we had a duplicate w25q128.)

m25p80's device ID table is now spi_nor_ids, defined in spi-nor.  The
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro doesn't work with extern definitions, but
its use was also removed at the same time.  Now if m25p80 is built as
a module it doesn't get the necessary aliases to be loaded
automatically.

A clean solution to this will involve defining the list of device
IDs in spi-nor.h and removing struct spi_device_id from the spi-nor
API, but this is quite a large change.

As a quick fix suitable for stable, copy the device IDs back into
m25p80.

Drivers currently call spi_nor_match_id() and then spi_nor_scan().
This adds a dependency on struct spi_device_id which we want to
avoid.  Make spi_nor_scan() do it for them.

This "type" seems to be an extra hint for m25p80 about the flash. Some
archs register flash_platform_data with "name" set to "m25p80" and then
with a real flash name set in "type". It seems to be a trick specific
to the m25p80 so let's move it out of spi-nor.
Btw switch to the spi_nor_match_id instead of iterating spi_nor_ids.

The ELM driver is only used by the OMAP NAND driver, so let's move it
to the nand/ directory. Additionally, let's rename it to a less confusing
name, so the module is built with a meaningful name, instead of the previous
'elm.ko'.

Fixed checkpatch warnings: "WARNING: Prefer seq_puts to seq_printf"

This patch is created with reference to the ongoing lkml thread
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/15/646
where Andrew Morton wrote:

"
- puts is presumably faster

- puts doesn't go rogue if you accidentally pass it a "%".

- this patch would actually make compiled object files few bytes smaller.
  Perhaps because seq_printf() is a varargs function, forcing the
  caller to pass args on the stack instead of in registers.
