[PATCH 2/2] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-December/050945.html

This patch-set is tested on AM335x-EVM using following end-to-end boot sequence
with appropriate u-boot configs [1]

    (BCH8_HW)      (BCH8_SW)         (BCH8_SW)         (BCH8_SW)  (UBIFS)
ROM ---------> SPL ---------> U-Boot ---------> Kernel ---------> File-System

    (BCH8_HW)      (BCH8_HW)         (BCH8_HW)         (BCH8_HW)  (UBIFS)
ROM ---------> SPL ---------> U-Boot ---------> Kernel ---------> File-System


Test1: flash ubi image from u-boot and boot the kernel
   u-boot> mw 0x82000000 0xff <u-boot.img size aligned to NAND block boundary>
   u-boot> fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 u-boot.img
   u-boot> nand erase <u-boot_offset> <u-boot.img size>
   u-boot> nand write 0x82000000  <u-boot_offset> <u-boot.img size>
   u-boot> setenv bootargs 'console=ttyO0,115200n8 noinitrd mem=256M \
                root=ubi0 rw rootfstype=ubifs ubi.mtd=<mtdpart-of-rootfs>,\
                <page-size> ip=off init=/init'
   u-boot> bootm <kernel_offset>

Test2: update u-boot.img from kernel and re-boot
   kernel> flash_erase /dev/<mtdpart-of-u-boot>  0 0
   kernel> nandwrite -s 0  /dev/<mtdpart-of-u-boot>   u-boot.img
   kernel> reboot

Pekon Gupta (3):
  mtd: nand: omap: fix ecclayout->oobfree->offset
  mtd: nand: omap: fix ecclayout->oobfree->length
  mtd: nand: omap: fix ecclayout to be in sync with u-boot NAND driver
