[MTD] [NAND] make oobavail public

2007-03-08T09:17:43+00:00

During the MTD rework the oobavail parameter of mtd_info structure has become
private. This is not quite correct in terms of integrity and logic. If we have
means to write to OOB area, then we'd like to know upfront how many bytes out
of OOB are spare per page to be able to adapt to specific cases.
The patch inlined adds the public oobavail parameter.

[MTD] Clarify OOB-operation interface comments

2007-02-09T15:27:50+00:00

Add more comment to OOB I/O interface. Read/write are not
symmetric which is confusing and should be documented.

[MTD] remove unused ecctype,eccsize fields from struct mtd_info

2007-02-09T15:27:12+00:00

Remove unused and broken mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize fields
from struct mtd_info. Do not remove them from userspace API
data structures (don't want to breake userspace) but mark them
as obsolete by a comment. Any userspace program which uses them
should be half-broken anyway, so this is more about saving
data structure size.

[MTD] [NOR] Intel: remove ugly PROGREGION macros

2007-02-09T15:26:37+00:00

Remove ugly and weird MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_VALID() and
MTD_PROGREGION_CTRLMODE_INVALID() macros. There is only one
user of them and they are used locally just for printing.

Anyway, this patch is a preparation for removing mtd->ecctype
and mtd->eccsize, but these macros use them. Fix this.

[MTD] add get and put methods

2006-11-29T15:04:53+00:00

This patch adds get_device() and put_device() methods to the MTD description
structure (struct mtd_info). These methods are called by MTD whenever the MTD
device is get or put. They are needed when the underlying driver is something
smarter then just flash chip driver, for example UBI.

[MTD] add get_mtd_device_nm() function

2006-11-29T15:04:31+00:00

This patch adds one more function to the MTD interface to make it possible to
open MTD devices by their names, not only numbers. This is very handy in many
situations. Also, MTD device number depend on load order and may vary, while
names are fixed.
