    mtd: create an mtd_ooblayout_ops struct to ease ECC layout definition · adbbc3bc
    Boris Brezillon authored
    ECC layout definitions are currently exposed using the nand_ecclayout
    struct which embeds oobfree and eccpos arrays with predefined size.
    This approach was acceptable when NAND chips were providing relatively
    small OOB regions, but MLC and TLC now provide OOB regions of several
    hundreds of bytes, which implies a non negligible overhead for everybody
    even those who only need to support legacy NANDs.
    
    Create an mtd_ooblayout_ops interface providing the same functionality
    (expose the ECC and oobfree layout) without the need for this huge
    structure.
    
    The mtd->ecclayout is now deprecated and should be replaced by the
    equivalent mtd_ooblayout_ops. In the meantime we provide a wrapper around
    the ->ecclayout field to ease migration to this new model.
