[MTD] remove unused ecctype,eccsize fields from struct mtd_info

2007-02-09T15:27:12Z

Remove unused and broken mtd->ecctype and mtd->eccsize fields from struct mtd_info. Do not remove them from userspace API data structures (don't want to breake userspace) but mark them as obsolete by a comment. Any userspace program which uses them should be half-broken anyway, so this is more about saving data structure size. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[MTD] Unlock NOR flash automatically where necessary

2006-09-22T09:07:08Z

Introduce the MTD_STUPID_LOCK flag which indicates that the flash chip is always locked after power-up, so all sectors need to be unlocked before it is usable. If this flag is set, and the chip provides an unlock() operation, mtd_add_device will unlock the whole MTD device if it's writeable. This means that non-writeable partitions will stay locked. Set MTD_STUPID_LOCK in fixup_use_atmel_lock() so that these chips will work as expected. Signed-off-by: Håvard Skinnemoen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

MTD: kernel-doc fixes + additions

Fix some kernel-doc typos/spellos. Use kernel-doc syntax in places where it was almost used. Correct/add struct, struct field, and function param names where needed. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

Merge git://git.infradead.org/hdrcleanup-2.6

2006-06-20T22:10:08Z

* git://git.infradead.org/hdrcleanup-2.6: (63 commits) [S390] __FD_foo definitions. Switch to __s32 types in joystick.h instead of C99 types for consistency. Add to headers included for userspace in Move inclusion of out of user scope in asm-x86_64/mtrr.h Remove struct fddi_statistics from user view in Move user-visible parts of drivers/s390/crypto/z90crypt.h to include/asm-s390 Revert include/media changes: Mauro says those ioctls are only used in-kernel(!) Include and use __uXX types in Use __uXX types in , include too Remove private struct dx_hash_info from public view in Include and use __uXX types in Use __uXX types in for struct divert_blk et al. Use __u32 for elf_addr_t in , not u32. It's user-visible. Remove PPP_FCS from user view in , remove __P mess entirely Use __uXX types in user-visible structures in Don't use 'u32' in user-visible struct ip_conntrack_old_tuple. Use __uXX types for S390 DASD volume label definitions which are user-visible S390 BIODASDREADCMB ioctl should use __u64 not u64 type. Remove unneeded inclusion of from Fix private integer types used in V4L2 ioctls. ... Manually resolve conflict in include/linux/mtd/physmap.h

[MTD] Restore MTD_ROM and MTD_RAM types

2006-06-14T20:39:48Z

Let's not attempt the abolition of mtd->type until/unless it's properly thought through. And certainly, let's not do it by halves. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[MTD] replace MTD_RAM with MTD_GENERIC_TYPE

2006-05-30T12:25:24Z

Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring an explicit erase before writing to it. Currently only mtdblock uses this capability. Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel

[MTD] replace MTD_ROM with MTD_GENERIC_TYPE

2006-05-30T12:25:17Z

No mtd user should ever check for the device type. Instead, device features should be checked by the flags - if at all. As a first step towards type removal, change MTD_ROM into MTD_GENERIC_TYPE. Signed-off-by: Joern Engel

[MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspace

2006-05-29T22:37:34Z

The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

[MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayout

2006-05-29T13:06:50Z

The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space compability reasons. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
