This adds the Kbuild files listing the files which are to be installed by
the 'headers_install' make target, in generic directories.

David Woodhouse 21c8db9eff [MTD] Restore MTD_ROM and MTD_RAM types
Let's not attempt the abolition of mtd->type until/unless it's properly
thought through. And certainly, let's not do it by halves.

Joern Engel 92cbfdcc36 [MTD] replace MTD_RAM with MTD_GENERIC_TYPE
Ram devices get the extra capability of MTD_NO_ERASE - not requiring
an explicit erase before writing to it.  Currently only mtdblock uses
this capability.  Rest of the patch is a simple text replacement.

Joern Engel e369d62e92 [MTD] replace MTD_ROM with MTD_GENERIC_TYPE
No mtd user should ever check for the device type.  Instead, device features
should be checked by the flags - if at all.
As a first step towards type removal, change MTD_ROM into MTD_GENERIC_TYPE.

Thomas Gleixner f1a28c0284 [MTD] NAND Expose the new raw mode function and status info to userspace
The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

Thomas Gleixner 5bd34c091a [MTD] NAND Replace oobinfo by ecclayout
The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
compability reasons.

Joern Engel 5fa433942b [MTD] Introduce MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE
o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be
  cleared.
o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for
  STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC.  Those flashes
  disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the
  new flag models their behaviour better.
o Remove MTD_ECC.  After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set
  and never checked.

Joern Engel 28318776a8 [MTD] Introduce writesize
At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit,
similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics.  Therefore, rename
the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND.

Joern Engel 8ca9ed5db3 [MTD] Use single flag to mark writeable devices.
Two flags exist to decide whether a device is writeable or not.  None of
those two flags is checked for independently, so they are clearly redundant,
if not an invitation to bugs.  This patch removed both of them, replacing
them with a single new flag.

David Woodhouse c6e82e7236 Move comment in mtd-abi.h to stop confusing unifdef
Currently, unifdef removes the comment which starts on the same line as
the #ifdef __KERNEL__, but leaves the second line of the comment in place.

Move the comment onto a separate line.

Nicolas Pitre 638d983840 {MTD] add support for Intel's "Sibley" flash
This updates the Primary Vendor-Specific Extended Query parsing to
version 1.4 in order to get the information about the Configurable
Programming Mode regions implemented in the Sibley flash, as well as
selecting the appropriate write command code.

This flash does not behave like traditional NOR flash when writing data.
While mtdblock should just work, further changes are needed for JFFS2 use.

Andrew Victor 8f15fd55f9 [JFFS2] Add support for JFFS2-on-Dataflash devices.
For Dataflash, can_mark_obsolete = false and the NAND write buffering
code (wbuf.c) is used.

Since the DataFlash chip will automatically erase pages when writing,
the cleanmarkers are not needed - so cleanmarker_oob = false and
cleanmarker_size = 0

DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
bytes).  The SECTOR_ADDR macro (added in the previous core patch) is
replaced with a (slower) div/mod version if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH is
selected.

Nicolas Pitre 31f4233bae [MTD] User interface to Protection Registers
This is implemented using a ioctl to switch the MTD char device into
one of the different OTP "modes", at which point read/write/seek can
operate on the selected OTP area.  Also some extra ioctls to query
for size and lock protection segments or groups.  Some example user
space utilities are provided.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
