commit f6d7c1b5598b6407c3f1da795dd54acf99c1990c upstream.

This fixes subpage writes when using 4-bit HW ECC.

There has been numerous reports about ECC errors with devices using this
driver for a while.  Also the 4-bit ECC has been reported as broken with
subpages in [1] and with 16 bits NANDs in the driver and in mach* board
files both in mainline and in the vendor BSPs.

What I saw with 4-bit ECC on a 16bits NAND (on an LCDK) which got me to
try reinitializing the ECC engine:
- R/W on whole pages properly generates/checks RS code
- try writing the 1st subpage only of a blank page, the subpage is well
  written and the RS code properly generated, re-reading the same page
  the HW detects some ECC error, reading the same page again no ECC
  error is detected

Note that the ECC engine is already reinitialized in the 1-bit case.

Tested on my LCDK with UBI+UBIFS using subpages.
This could potentially get rid of the issue workarounded in [1].

commit 79ad07d45743721010e766e65dc004ad249bd429 upstream.

There is a cut and paste issue here.  The bug is that we are allocating
more memory than necessary for msp_maps.  We should be allocating enough
space for a map_info struct (144 bytes) but we instead allocate enough
for an mtd_info struct (1840 bytes).  It's a small waste.

The other part of this is not harmful but when we allocated msp_flash
then we allocated enough space fro a map_info pointer instead of an
mtd_info pointer.  But since pointers are the same size it works out
fine.

Anyway, I decided to clean up all three allocations a bit to make them
a bit more consistent and clear.

commit 714fb87e8bc05ff78255afc0dca981e8c5242785 upstream.

Install the UBI device object before we arm sysfs.
Otherwise udev tries to read sysfs attributes before UBI is ready and
udev rules will not match.

commit 4946784bd3924b1374f05eebff2fd68660bae866 upstream.

When the volume resize operation shrinks a volume,
LEBs will be unmapped. Since unmapping will not erase these
LEBs immediately we have to wait for that operation to finish.
Otherwise in case of a power cut right after writing the new
volume table the UBI attach process can find more LEBs than the
volume table knows. This will render the UBI image unattachable.

Fix this issue by waiting for erase to complete and write the new
volume table afterward.

incorrectly changed onenand_block_markbad() to call mtd_block_markbad
instead of onenand_chip's block_markbad function. As a result the function
will now recurse and deadlock. Fix by reverting the change.
