commit c5d8c0cae4af7d78823d32fcd1c458ee1a1b5489 upstream.

When reading/writing a subpage (When HW ECC is not available/enabled)
for number of bytes not aligned to 4, the mis-aligned bytes are handled
first (by cpu copy method) before enabling the Prefetch engine to/from
'p'(start of buffer 'buf'). Then it reads/writes rest of the bytes with
the help of Prefetch engine, if available, or again using cpu copy method.
Currently, reading/writing of rest of bytes, is not done correctly since
its trying to read/write again to/from begining of buffer 'buf',
overwriting the mis-aligned bytes.

Read &amp; write using prefetch engine got broken in commit '2c01946c'.
We never hit a scenario of not getting 'gpmc_prefetch_enable' call
success. So, problem did not get caught up.

commit 26d9be11485ea8c1102c3e8eaa7667412eef4950 upstream.

In commit c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79 the initialization of
the backblockbits was accidentally removed. This patch returns it back,
because otherwise some NAND drivers are broken.

This problem was reported by "Saxena, Parth &lt;parth.saxena@ti.com&gt;" here:

commit 431e1ecabddcd7cbba237182ddf431771f98bb4c upstream.

Currently mtdconcat is broken for NAND. An attemtpt to create
JFFS2 filesystem on concatenation of several NAND devices fails
with OOB write errors. This patch fixes that problem.

<title>drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct device</title>

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time.  This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver.  If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.

This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

All UBI needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBI debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary.

And the current Kconfig line we have:

select KALLSYMS_ALL if KALLSYMS &amp;&amp; DEBUG_KERNEL

is just too complex to be sane and right. But this "if" part there
is needed to prevent "unmet direct dependency" warnings, because
KALLSYMS_ALL depends on KALLSYMS and DEBUG_KERNEL, so we cannot
just select KALLSYMS_ALL.

Anyway, this feels messy, and we do not seem to really need KALLSYMS_ALL,
so select KALLSYMS instead.

'do_sync_erase()' has to check whether we are in R/O mode before
erasing the PEB. This patch adds the check and while on it, adds an
assertion which validates the 'pnum' argument, as well as removes
a check which is always true because it has already been done
few lines before.
