These drivers are deprecated for very long time, and we have a different driver
for these called "diskonchip". Thus, kill the ancient cruft.

The 'id' is a bit confusing name because NAND IDs are multi-byte. Re-name
it to 'dev_id' to make it clear that this is the "device ID" part (the second
byte).

While on it, clean-up the commentary for 'struct nand_flash_dev'.

<content type='text'>
Flash device drivers initialize 'ecc_strength' in struct mtd_info, which is the
maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one writesize region.

Drivers using the nand interface intitialize 'strength' in struct nand_ecc_ctrl,
which is the maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one ecc step.
Nand infrastructure code translates this to 'ecc_strength'.

Also for nand drivers, the nand infrastructure code sets ecc.strength for ecc
modes NAND_ECC_SOFT, NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, and NAND_ECC_NONE.  It is set in the
driver for all other modes.

The MTD API function now zero the 'retlen' parameter before calling
the driver's method — do not do this again in drivers. This removes
duplicated '*retlen = 0' assignent from the following methods:

    'mtd_point()'
    'mtd_read()'
    'mtd_write()'
    'mtd_writev()'
    'mtd_panic_write()'

<title>mtd: do not duplicate length and offset checks in drivers</title>

<id>5def48982b778aaebe201f85af7170b7d0a6619f</id>
<content type='text'>
We already verify that offset and length are within the MTD device size
in the MTD API functions. Let's remove the duplicated checks in drivers.
This patch only affects the following API's:

'mtd_erase()'
'mtd_point()'
'mtd_unpoint()'
'mtd_get_unmapped_area()'
'mtd_read()'
'mtd_write()'
'mtd_panic_write()'
'mtd_lock()'
'mtd_unlock()'
'mtd_is_locked()'
'mtd_block_isbad()'
'mtd_block_markbad()'

This patch adds a bit of noise by removing too sparse empty lines, but this is
not too bad.

<content type='text'>
The writebufsize concept was introduce by commit
"0e4ca7e mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct" and it represents
the maximum amount of data the device writes to the media at a time. This is
an important parameter for UBIFS which is used during recovery and which
basically defines how big a corruption caused by a power cut can be.

Set it to be equivalent to mtd-&gt;writesize because this is the maximum amount
of data the driver writes at a time.

<title>mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions</title>

This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd-&gt;erase -&gt; mtd-&gt;_erase
mtd-&gt;read_oob -&gt; mtd-&gt;_read_oob
...

The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:

1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
   less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
   spot the big API change and amend them.

These modes are not necessarily for OOB only. Particularly, MTD_OOB_RAW
affected operations on in-band page data as well. To clarify these
options and to emphasize that their effect is applied per-operation, we
change the primary prefix to MTD_OPS_.

Start moving away from the MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL messages. The dynamic
debugging feature is a generic kernel feature that provides more

Also fix some punctuation, indentation, and capitalization that went
