Rafał Miłecki f0501e81fb mtd: bcm47xxpart: alternative MAGIC for board_data partition
Some devices (like WNDR3700v3) have board_data without MPFR magic, some
extra header or extra NVRAM around 0x100. In such case we have to look
for another magic which is BD 0B 0D BD (BD probably stands for Board
Data). It's located "far far away", so instead of extending buffer add
another mtd_read.

Rafał Miłecki 020c6bcfbe mtd: bcm47xxpart: detect block aligned Squashfs partition
Most of the bcm47xx devices use TRX format for storing kernel and some
partition like Squashfs or JFFS2. This is pretty flexible solution, CFE
(the bootloader) just writes (and later boots) TRX at some hardcoded
place and paritions can vary in the size.

However some devices don't use TRX format. Very recently we have
discovered ZTE H218N that has kernel and rootfs partitions at some
"random" places.

This patch allows Linux find a rootfs partition after installing custom
image with a CFE bootloader.

Rafał Miłecki 91d542f4dc mtd: bcm47xxpart: look for NVRAM at the end of device
NVRAM is always placed at the end of device and it does not have to
start at the beginning of a block, so check few possible offsets.

Rafał Miłecki 5ca1088f10 Revert "mtd: bcm47xxpart: improve probing of nvram partition"
This reverts commit be3781b71a.

Some CFE bootloaders have NVRAM at offset 0x1000. With that patch we
were detecting such a bootloaders as a standard NVRAM partition.
Changing anything in this pseudo-NVRAM resulted in corrupted bootloader
and bricked device!

* misc clean-ups in the MTD command-line partitioning parser (cmdlinepart)
  * add flash locking support for STmicro chips serial flash chips, as well as
    for CFI command set 2 chips.
  * new driver for the ELM error correction HW module found in various TI chips,
    enable the OMAP NAND driver to use the ELM HW error correction
  * added number of new serial flash IDs
  * various fixes and improvements in the gpmi NAND driver

The nvram in the nvram partition does not start at the beginning of the

a partition or the first 0x1000 bytes are free.

Rafał Miłecki 3cf7f1314e mtd: bcm47part driver for BCM47XX chipsets
This driver provides parser detecting partitions on BCM47XX flash
memories. It has many differences in comparison to BCM63XX, like:
1) Different CFE with no more trivial MAGICs
2) More partitions types (board_data, ML, POT)
3) Supporting more than 1 flash on a device
which resulted in decision of writing new parser.

It uses generic mtd interface and was successfully tested with Netgear
WNDR4500 router which has 2 flash memories: serial one and NAND one.
