The intent here was clearly to set result to true if the 0x40000000 flag
was set.  But instead there was a | vs &amp; typo and we always set result
to true.

Artem: check the spec at
wiki.laptop.org/images/5/5c/88ALP01_Datasheet_July_2007.pdf
and this fix looks correct.

Commit "e9b4cf2 UBI: fix debugfs-less systems support" fixed one
regression but introduced a different regression - the debugfs is now always
compiled out. Root cause: IS_ENABLED() arguments should be used with the
CONFIG_* prefix.

Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all
kmsg_dump() users to it.

The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which
should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users.

The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also
supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

<title>mtd: nand: initialize bitflip_threshold prior to BBT scanning</title>

<id>ea3b2ea24ef0f2ef9c6795b19cff456195b6728a</id>
<content type='text'>
As of edbc454 [mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read()
returns -EUCLEAN], 'mtd-&gt;bitflip_threshold' must be set for mtd devices
having ECC, prior any 'mtd_read()' call.
Otherwise, 'mtd_read()' will falsely return -EUCLEAN.

Normally, 'mtd-&gt;bitflip_threshold' is initialized when the MTD is added.

However, this is too late for NAND MTDs, as 'scan_bbt()' is invoked
prior the existing initialization of 'mtd-&gt;bitflip_threshold'.

This is a problem since 'scan_bbt()' calls 'mtd_read()', in the case
of a flash-based bad block table.
It resulted in a falsely reported bitflips indication during BBT read,
which lead to constant scrubbing of the flash BBT blocks.

Initialize 'mtd-&gt;bitflip_threshold' to its default value (if not already
set by the driver), prior to invocation of 'scan_bbt()'.

Commit "62f38455 UBI: modify ubi_wl_flush function to clear work queue for a lnum"
takes the 'work_sem' semaphore in write mode for the entire loop, which is not
very good because it will block other workers for potentially long time. We do
not need to have it in write mode - read mode is enough, and we do not need to
hole it over the entire loop. So this patch turns changes the locking: takes
'work_sem' in read mode and pushes it down to the loop.

refuses to initialize if debugfs (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) is disabled. I incorrectly
assumed that debugfs files creation function will return success if debugfs
is disabled, but they actually return -ENODEV. This patch fixes the issue.

Pull mtd update from David Woodhouse:
 - More robust parsing especially of xattr data in JFFS2
 - Updates to mxc_nand and gpmi drivers to support new boards and device tree
 - Improve consistency of information about ECC strength in NAND devices
 - Clean up partition handling of plat_nand
 - Support NAND drivers without dedicated access to OOB area
 - BCH hardware ECC support for OMAP
 - Other fixes and cleanups, and a few new device IDs

Fixed trivial conflict in drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c due to
added include files next to each other.

Since commit 6a918bade9dab40aaef80559bd1169c69e8d69cb, the mxc_nand driver
fails with:

Driver must set ecc.strength when using hardware ECC

This is because nand_scan_tail checks for correct ecc strength
settings, so we must set them up before nand_scan_tail.
