commit 9cd9a21ce070be8a918ffd3381468315a7a76ba6 upstream.

In commit 6afaf8a484cb ("UBI: flush wl before clearing update marker") I
managed to trigger and fix a similar bug. Now here is another version of
which I assumed it wouldn't matter back then but it turns out UBI has a
check for it and will error out like this:

|ubi0 warning: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent used_ebs
|ubi0 error: validate_vid_hdr: inconsistent VID header at PEB 592

All you need to trigger this is? "ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 file" + a
powercut in the middle of the operation.
ubi_start_update() sets the update-marker and puts all EBs on the erase
list. After that userland can proceed to write new data while the old EB
aren't erased completely. A powercut at this point is usually not that
much of a tragedy. UBI won't give read access to the static volume
because it has the update marker. It will most likely set the corrupted
flag because it misses some EBs.
So we are all good. Unless the size of the image that has been written
differs from the old image in the magnitude of at least one EB. In that
case UBI will find two different values for `used_ebs' and refuse to
attach the image with the error message mentioned above.

So in order not to get in the situation, the patch will ensure that we
wait until everything is removed before it tries to write any data.
The alternative would be to detect such a case and remove all EBs at the
attached time after we processed the volume-table and see the
update-marker set. The patch looks bigger and I doubt it is worth it
since usually the write() will wait from time to time for a new EB since
usually there not that many spare EB that can be used.

<title>mtd: bcm47xxpart: fix parsing first block after aligned TRX</title>

commit bd5d21310133921021d78995ad6346f908483124 upstream.

After parsing TRX we should skip to the first block placed behind it.
Our code was working only with TRX with length not aligned to the
blocksize. In other cases (length aligned) it was missing the block
places right after TRX.

This fixes calculation and simplifies the comment.

commit 906b268477bc03daaa04f739844c120fe4dbc991 upstream.

kernelci.org reports a warning for this driver, as it copies a local
variable into a 'const char *' string:

    drivers/mtd/maps/pmcmsp-flash.c:149:30: warning: passing argument 1 of 'strncpy' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

Using kstrndup() simplifies the code and avoids the warning.

commit 656441478ed55d960df5f3ccdf5a0f8c61dfd0b3 upstream.

The commit 7a654172161c ("mtd/ifc: Add support for IFC controller
version 2.0") added support for version 2.0 of the IFC controller.
The version 2.0 controller has the ECC status registers at a different
location to the previous versions.

Correct the fsl_ifc_nand structure so that the ECC status can be read
from the correct location for both version 1.0 and 2.0 of the controller.

commit 73529c872a189c747bdb528ce9b85b67b0e28dec upstream.

The xway_nand driver accesses the ltq_ebu_membase symbol which is not
exported. This also should not get exported and we should handle the
EBU interface in a better way later. This quick fix just deactivated
support for building as module.

commit cf9e1672a66c49ed8903c01b4c380a2f2dc91b40 upstream.

Semantics of NR_IRQS is different on machines with SPARSE_IRQ option
disabled or enabled, in the latter case IRQs are allocated starting
at least from the value specified by NR_IRQS and going upwards, so
the check of (irq &gt;= NR_IRQ) to decide about an error code returned by
platform_get_irq() is completely invalid, don't attempt to overrule
irq subsystem in the driver.

The change fixes LPC32xx NAND MLC driver initialization on boot.

Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:

 - MAINTAINERS updates to reflect some new maintainers/submaintainers.

   We have some great volunteers who've been developing and reviewing
   already. We're going to try a group maintainership model, so
   eventually you'll probably see pull requests from people besides me.

 - NAND fixes from Boris:
    "Three simple fixes:
