New NAND controllers can perform read/write via HW engines which don't expose
OOB data in their DMA mode. To reflect this, we should rework the nand_chip /
nand_ecc_ctrl interfaces that assume that drivers will always read/write OOB
data in the nand_chip.oob_poi buffer. A better interface includes a boolean
argument that explicitly tells the callee when OOB data is requested by the
calling layer (for reading/writing to/from nand_chip.oob_poi).

This patch adds the 'oob_required' parameter to each relevant {read,write}_page
interface; all 'oob_required' parameters are left unused for now. The next
patch will set the parameter properly in the nand_base.c callers, and follow-up
patches will make use of 'oob_required' in some of the callee functions.

Note that currently, there is no harm in ignoring the 'oob_required' parameter
and *always* utilizing nand_chip.oob_poi, but there can be
performance/complexity/design benefits from avoiding filling oob_poi in the
common case. I will try to implement this for some drivers which can be ported
easily.

Note: I couldn't compile-test all of these easily, as some had ARCH
dependencies.

v3: 'bool use_oob' -> 'int oob_required'
    A few mistakes corrected (missed users, wrong 'oob_required' value)

Brian, probably you take care of this, but just in case I would like to
ask to put tags like this to your patches when re-sending. I am trying
to be careful about this for several reasons: it shows that the patch
was reviewed, it saves the reviewers name in the git history which and
makes persons' contribution visible, so it is kind of a credit.

Sure, I'll do this as appropriate. Should I apply these tags when the
review is made w/o an explicit "Reviewed-by" (e.g., Scott Wood's
comments on patch 7)? There's also the issue of placing "reviewed-by"
before the reviewer actually sees my change.

So I'll be sure to place Shmulik's and Huang's tags. Not quite as sure
on Scott's review, but I will include it as "Reviewed-by" for now.

You can put mine on if you want in this case, provided the write-side
change is removed as discussed -- but in general, I'd say that making a
comment on one part of a patch doesn't indicate that the whole thing has
been reviewed.
