Linus Torvalds 8bc4d5f394 MTD updates for v4.7:
First cycle with Boris as NAND maintainer! Many (most) bullets stolen from him.
 
 Generic:
 
  * Migrated NAND LED trigger to be a generic MTD trigger
 
 NAND:
 
  * Introduction of the "ECC algorithm" concept, to avoid overloading the ECC
    mode field too much more
  * Replaced the nand_ecclayout infrastructure with something a little more
    flexible (finally!) and future proof
  * Rework of the OMAP GPMC and NAND drivers; the TI folks pulled some of
    this into their own tree as well
  * Prepare the sunxi NAND driver to receive DMA support
  * Handle bitflips in erased pages on GPMI revisions that do not support
    this in hardware.
 
 SPI NOR:
 
  * Start using the spi_flash_read() API for SPI drivers that support it (i.e.,
    SPI drivers with special memory-mapped flash modes)
 
 And other small scattered improvments.

README

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
