commit 229cc58ba2b5a83b0b55764c6cb98695c106238a upstream.

Commit 771999b65f79264acde4b855e5d35696eca5e80c ("[MTD] DataFlash: bugfix,
binary page sizes now handled") broke support for probing AT45DB321C flash
chips.  These chips do not support the "page size" status bit, so if we
match the JEDEC id return early.

<content type='text'>
The wrong version of the "teach dataflash about binary density" patch
just got merged (v2 not v3) ... this restores the missing updates:

  * Fix the cmdlinepart *regression* that caused testing failures (!!)
    by restoring the original part labels in relevant cases.

  * Don't reference things that don't exist (!)
	- An opcode that doesn't even exist for DataFlash
	- The part is "at45db642" not "at45db641"
	- ID zero in this JEDEC table

  * Make the JEDEC probe routine report and handle errors better:
	- If the SPI calls fail, return the error codes.
	- Don't depend on ordering of table entries.
	- Unrecognized ids are different from parts that have no ID.
          We won't actually know how to handle them correctly; display
	  the ID and ignore the chip.

  * Move the original block comment about the "legacy" chip ID scheme
    back next to the code to which it applies ... not next to the new
    JEDEC query code, which uses an entirely different strategy.

  * Don't print a guessed erasesize; /proc/mtd has the real value.

And add a few more comments.

After writing to a Dataflash page, the built-in compare operation is
used to check that the page was successfully written.  A logic bug in
checking the results of the comparison currently causes the compare to
never fail.

This bug was originally in the legacy at91_dataflash.c driver.

that rmmod won't oops.

<title>[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls</title>

Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.
