<content type='text'>
ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout
struct which embeds oobfree and eccpos arrays with predefined size.
This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively
small OOB regions, but MLC and TLC now provide OOB regions of several
hundreds of bytes, which implies a non negligible overhead for everybody
even those who only need to support legacy NANDs.

Create an mtd_ooblayout_ops interface providing the same functionality
(expose the ECC and oobfree layout) without the need for this huge
structure.

The mtd-&gt;ecclayout is now deprecated and should be replaced by the
equivalent mtd_ooblayout_ops. In the meantime we provide a wrapper around
the -&gt;ecclayout field to ease migration to this new model.

<title>fs: introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support</title>

<content type='text'>
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

Many drivers check whether the partition is R/O and return -EROFS if yes.
Let's stop having duplicated checks and move them to the API functions
instead.

And again a bit of noise - deleted few too sparse newlines, sorry.

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.

The main 'mtd_block_markbad()' function returns -EOPNOTSUPP if the
'-&gt;block_markbad' method is undefined, and mtdconcat should do the same.
Fix this by simply removing the 'mtd_can_have_bb()' because it is  not
really necessary. It could be treated as an optimization, but this function is
expected to be used so rarely that it does not matter.
