mtd: peb: Add function to write file ...

This adds a function to the mtd peb API to write a file spanning
multiple blocks to a mtd device. Bad blocks are automatically skipped
and before anything is done we check if the image will fit into the
remaining space (honouring bad blocks).

mtd: peb: Do not mark as bad in mtd_peb_torture() ...

Both the Kernel and mtd-utils have peb torture functions and both
do not mark the block as bad automatically. Instead, the caller
must mark the block as bad when -EIO is returned from the torture
function. Do the same in barebox. This is necessary as the UBI code
otherwise may mark a block as bad twice: Once indirectly in
mtd_peb_torture() and then directly afterwards.

mtd: peb: Add function to skip bad blocks ...

This adds a function that given a pointer to a PEB number increases the
number until the corresponding PEB is good. It also checks for the PEB
number being inside the mtd device.

Revert "globalvar: make globalvar functions more consistent" ...

This reverts commit 1b4a05c.

globalvar: make globalvar functions more consistent ...

Similar to the device parameter functions also make the globalvar
functions more consistent. This also adds support for readonly
globalvars and changes several existing globalvars which should
really be readonly to readonly.

mtd: when creating bitflips the offset has to be page aligned ...

mtd_peb_create_bitflips() assumes the offset is page aligned. Enforce
this and in the nand_bitlfip command print a warning if it's not
aligned.

mtd: create bitflips in the correct page ...

In mtd_peb_create_bitflips() buf always points to the first page in a
block. If we want to create bitflips in other pages we have to add the
offset into the block.

mtd: peb: fix usage of uninitialized variable ...

'read' is used in an error message but never assigned a value to. Remove
the variable.

commands: Create nand_bitflip command ...

This adds a command to flip bits in a Nand flash. This is useful for
testing purposes to check if flipped bits are corrected and if the
driver returns the correct number of bitflips.

The command writes a configurable number of bitflips to a single Nand
page. If the -r option is not given the results are reproducible, so
calling the same command twice will revert the bitflips.

The command uses the raw read/write Nand operations which are probably
less tested than the regular read/write operations, so the command may
produce surprising results.

As of writing the command has been tested with the GPMI Nand driver and
the imx-nand driver with fixes posted.

mtd: Introduce mtd-peb API ...

Code which properly wants to handle Nand flash has to work
in a block based way since blocks are the entities that are erased or
may become bad. The regular mtd API works based on offsets in the device
which introduces unhandy 64bit arithmetics and the requirement to align
buffers to blocks.
This introduces the mtd peb API (PEB for physical Erase Block) which
allows the users to work in a block oriented way. The API is heavily
inspired by the UBI IO layer and in fact can replace parts thereof
later.
