This changes the behavier of MTD_OOB_RAW. It used to read both OOB and data
to the data buffer, however you would still need to specify the dummy oob buffer.

This is only used in one place, but makes it hard to read data+oob without ECC
test, thus I removed that behavier, and fixed the user.

Now MTD_OOB_RAW behaves just like MTD_OOB_PLACE, but doesn't do ECC validation

Is this tested against existing user space tools like nanddump ? Can I
still get the raw data from flash ?

Thanks,

Thats the point.
Userspace doesn't/can't use that mode.
It is not exposed through mtdchar.
Userspace reads the page, and then reads the oob.

It does use MTD_OOB_RAW, but without data buffer, and this path I don't
change.

The only user of this, is the nand itself, when it reads bad block
table.

I confess that I didn't run test that I ported this code correctly.
But I did logically verified many times that the new code works just
like old one.


Best regards,

Well, then it's about time to run the tests :)

Can this be done with nandsim?

Note that only this patch is in question, and only . Rest are tested
with my driver, 

While doing some testing, I tried to use ubi, but it appears to try 256

What I did so far:


sudo modprobe nandsim
sudo modprobe ubi
sudo ubiformat /dev/mtd0
sudo ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m0 -d 0
sudo ubimkvol -m -N test /dev/ubi0



Then I suppose I can mount /dev/ubi0 with ubifs, right?
(If there were no errors of course)

Just to be sure, I tested jffs2 and nanddump.

Works just fine.
