<title>mtd: Use BLOCK_NIL consistently in NFTL/INFTL</title>

Use BLOCK_NIL consistently rather than sometimes 0xffff and sometimes
BLOCK_NIL.

The semantic patch that finds this issue is below
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/).  On the other hand, the changes
were made by hand, in part because drivers/mtd/inftlcore.c contains dead
code that causes spatch to ignore a relevant function.  Specifically, the
function INFTL_findwriteunit contains a do-while loop, but always takes a
return that leaves the loop on the first iteration.

<title>[MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size</title>
<updated>2008-12-10T13:37:21+00:00</updated>

<id>69423d99fc182a81f3c5db3eb5c140acc6fc64be</id>
<content type='text'>
MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size.  This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged.  Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons.  First, no one
needs it at the moment.  Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated.  Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
    	- printk message formats
    	- division and modulus of 64-bit values
    	- NAND base support
	- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
	- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
	in MEMERASE ioctl

When iterating over a chain in reverse (oldest block first), this
patch correctly marks the PUtable[] entry of the second to last erase
block of a chain as BLOCK_NIL, regardless of whether or not it can
format the last block successfully. Before, the second to last block
was only marked as pointing to BLOCK_NIL if INFTL_formatblock()
succeeded on the last block of the chain, which could potentially
result in an infinite loop if the block was worn out and refused to
format.

Once upon a time, the MTD repository was using CVS.

This patch therefore removes all usages of the no longer updated CVS
keywords from the MTD code.

This also includes code that printed them to the user.

<title>[MTD] [NAND] remove len/ooblen confusion.</title>

As was discussed between Ricard Wanderlöf, David Woodhouse, Artem 
Bityutskiy and me, the current API for reading/writing OOB is confusing. 

The thing that introduces confusion is the need to specify ops.len 
together with ops.ooblen for reads/writes that concern only OOB not data 
area. So, ops.len is overloaded: when ops.datbuf != NULL it serves to 
specify the length of the data read, and when ops.datbuf == NULL, it 
serves to specify the full OOB read length.

The patch inlined below is the slightly updated version of the previous 
patch serving the same purpose, but with the new Artem's comments taken 
into account.

Artem, BTW, thanks a lot for your valuable input!

Currently, mtd_blkdevs enforces a block size of 512, even if the drivers
can seemingly request a different size. This patch fixes mtd_blkdevs so
block sizes other than 512 work correctly.
