Boris Brezillon 25f815f66a mtd: nand: force drivers to explicitly send READ/PROG commands
The core currently send the READ0 and SEQIN+PAGEPROG commands in
nand_do_read/write_ops(). This is inconsistent with
->read/write_oob[_raw]() hooks behavior which are expected to send
these commands.

There's already a flag (NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS) to inform the core
that a specific controller wants to send the READ/SEQIN+PAGEPROG
commands on its own, but it's an opt-in flag, and existing drivers are
unlikely to be updated to pass it.

Moreover, some controllers cannot dissociate the READ/PAGEPROG commands
from the associated data transfer and ECC engine activation, and
developers have to hack things in their ->cmdfunc() implementation to
handle such complex cases, or have to accept the perf penalty of sending
twice the same command.
To address this problem we are planning on adding a new interface which
is passed all information about a NAND operation (including the amount
of data to transfer) and replacing all calls to ->cmdfunc() to calls to
this new ->exec_op() hook. But, in order to do that, we need to have all
->cmdfunc() calls placed near their associated ->read/write_buf/byte()
calls.

Modify the core and relevant drivers to make NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS
the default case, and remove this flag.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
