Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not
straight forward in i.MX6 platform and it requires
boot control block(BCB) to be configured.
It becomes difficult to use uboot 'nand' command to
write BCB since it requires platform specific attributes
need to be taken care of.
It is even difficult to use existing msx-nand.c driver by
incorporating BCB attributes like mxs_dma_desc does
because it requires change in mtd and nand command.
So, cmd_nandbcb implemented in arch/arm/mach-imx
BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB)
and Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings,
DBBT search area, page address of primary and secondary firmware.
On summary, nandbcb update will
- erase the entire partition
- create BCB by creating 4 FCB/BDDT block followed by
2 FW blocks based on partition size and erasesize.
- fill FCB/DBBT structures
- write FW/SPL in FW0 and FW1(same image in two times)
- write FCB/DBBT in first 4 blocks
for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will load and
finally primary or secondary firmware will load which is boot image.
See Section 4 from doc/README.imx6 for more usage information.

+4. NAND Boot on i.MX6 with SPL support
+--------------------------------------
+
+Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not straight forward in
+i.MX6 platform and it requires boot control block(BCB) to be configured.
+
+BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB) and
+Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings, DBBT search area,
+page address of primary and secondary firmware. See IMX6DQRM Section 8.5.2.2
+for more information.
+
+We can't use 'nand write' command to write SPL/firmware image directly
+like other platforms does. So we need special setup to write BCB block
+as per IMX6QDL reference manual 'nandbcb update' command do that job.
+
+for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
+first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
+further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will load and
+finally primary or secondary firmware will load which is boot image.
+
+cmd_nandbcb will create FCB these structures
+by taking mtd partition as an example.
+- initial code will erase entire partition
+- followed by FCB setup, like first 4 block for FCB/DBBT write,
+ rest is split into two for primary and secondary firmware
+- write firmware at primary and secondary blocks(two times same image)
+- finally write fcb/dttb in first 4 block.
+
+Typical NAND BCB layout:
+=======================
+
+ no.of blocks = partition size / erasesize
+ no.of fcb/dbbt blocks = 4
+ no.of FW blocks = (no.of blocks - no.of fcb/dbbt blocks) / 2
+ FW1 offset = no.of fcb/dbbt
+ FW2 offset = FW1 offset + no.of FW blocks
+
+block 0 1 2 3 4 FW2 offset
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------
+ |FCB/DBBT 0|FCB/DBBT 1|FCB/DBBT 2|FCB/DBBT 3| FW 1 | FW 2 |
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+On summary, nandbcb update will
+- erase the entire partition
+- create BCB by creating 4 FCB/BDDT block followed by
+ 2 FW blocks based on partition size and erasesize.
+- fill FCB/DBBT structures
+- write FW/SPL in FW0 and FW1(same image in two times)
+- write FCB/DBBT in first 4 blocks
