commit 596fd46268634082314b3af1ded4612e1b7f3f03 upstream.

We don't need to open code the divide function, just use div_u64 that
already exists and do the same job. While this is a straightforward
clean up, there is more to that, the real motivation for this.

While building on a cross compiling environment in armel, using gcc
4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5), I was getting the following build
error:

ERROR: "__aeabi_uldivmod" [drivers/mtd/nand/nandsim.ko] undefined!

After investigating with objdump and hand built assembly version
generated with the compiler, I narrowed __aeabi_uldivmod as being
generated from the divide function. When nandsim.c is built with
-fno-inline-functions-called-once, that happens when
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is enabled, the do_div optimization in
arch/arm/include/asm/div64.h doesn't work as expected with the open
coded divide function: even if the do_div we are using doesn't have a
constant divisor, the compiler still includes the else parts of the
optimized do_div macro, and translates the divisions there to use
__aeabi_uldivmod, instead of only calling __do_div_asm -&gt; __do_div64 and
optimizing/removing everything else out.

So to reproduce, gcc 4.6 plus CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM=m should do it, building on armel.

After this change, the compiler does the intended thing even with
-fno-inline-functions-called-once, and optimizes out as expected the
constant handling in the optimized do_div on arm. As this also avoids a
build issue, I'm marking for Stable, as I think is applicable for this
case.

commit 48f8b641297df49021093763a3271119a84990a2 upstream.

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 2e929d001e85126d9267de373d4b76014789661d upstream.

MTD_OF_PARTS and the default setting is not working due to using 'Y'
instead of 'y', introduced in commit
d6137badeff1ef64b4e0092ec249ebdeaeb3ff37. This made our board, and
possibly other boards using DTS defined partitions and not having
CONFIG_MTD_OF_PARTS=y defined in the defconfig, fail to mount root.

commit 34a5704d91d6f8376a4c0a0143a1dd3eb3ccb37e upstream.

It seems there is a bug in scan_read_raw_oob() in nand_bbt.c which
should cause wrong functioning of NAND_BBT_SCANALLPAGES option.

Artem: the patch did not apply and I had to amend it a bit.

commit b54f47c8bcfc5f766bf13ec31bd7dd1d4726d33b upstream.

Using UBI on m25p80 can give messages like:

    UBI error: io_init: bad write buffer size 0 for 1 min. I/O unit

We need to initialize writebufsize; I think "page_size" is the correct
"bufsize", although I'm not sure. Comments?

commit fcc44a07dae0af16e84e93425fc8afe642ddc603 upstream.

The writebufsize concept was introduce by commit
"0e4ca7e mtd: add writebufsize field to mtd_info struct" and it represents
the maximum amount of data the device writes to the media at a time. This is
an important parameter for UBIFS which is used during recovery and which
basically defines how big a corruption caused by a power cut can be.

Set writebufsize to 4 because this drivers writes at max 4 bytes at a time.

commit 5289966ea576a062b80319975b31b661c196ff9d upstream.

This has been moved from .options to .bbt_options meanwhile. So, it
currently checks for something totally different (NAND_OWN_BUFFERS) and
decides according to that.

Artem Bityutskiy: the options were moved in
a40f734 mtd: nand: consolidate redundant flash-based BBT flags
