This patch is essentially an update of u-boot MTD subsystem to the state of Linux-3.7.1 with exclusion of some bits:
- the update is concentrated on NAND, no onenand or CFI/NOR/SPI
flashes interfaces are updated EXCEPT for API changes.
- new large NAND chips support is there, though some updates
have got in Linux-3.8.-rc1, (which will follow on top of this
patch).
To produce this update I used tag v3.7.1 of linux-stable
repository.
The update was made using application of relevant patches, with changes relevant to U-Boot-only stuff sticked together to keep bisectability. Then all changes were grouped together to this patch.

Are these whitespace errors in Linux?
Yeah, this thing wonders me why. I can fix these without too much hussle, should I?
They don't appear to have come from the Linux sources, so yes, please fix them.
You'll probably need to go through the various NAND patches between
3.0
and 3.7.1 looking for API changes, and make sure that they're all accounted for, beyond just making things build.
This is what I did most of time, shit happens.
OK... ecc.strength is going to need to be fixed on several drivers (pretty much everything that uses hardware ecc). When I fixed that, elbc worked.

We really should not be having NAND driver code (stuff that
interacts
with the NAND API; not hardware setup) outside of drivers/mtd/nand.
This probably should be split.
Yes, it's not a problem with this patch, just something that this patch made me notice (hence the CC to Heiko).

Could you explain why it's no longer practical to have NAND by
itself?
I have dilemma here:
New MTD API instead of calling mtd->foo(mtd...) uses mtd_foo(mtd...) functions. In Linux, these are defined in mtdcore.c
We can either move these functions from mtdcore.c somewhere (where?), or #ifndef unrelated parts from mtdcore.c
I'd say move them to another file in drivers/mtd. mtdapi.c?
+#define pr_info(args...) MTDDEBUG(MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL0, args) +#define pr_warn(args...) MTDDEBUG(MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL0, args) +#define pr_err(args...) MTDDEBUG(MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL0, args)
These should be ordinary printf, not MTDDEBUG. Under normal (non-debug) circumstances MTDDEBUG is a no-op. We want to see errors and warnings always.
Plus, these should be defined somewhere that isn't MTD-specific.
So, should I add separate header?
Put them in include/linux/compat.h
So, what is next step?
Once ecc.strength and the other review issues are dealt with, it should be good to go in.
