[PATCH v1 0/3] Add rockmtd command

Rockmtd creates a virtual block device to transfer Rockchip
boot block data to and from NAND with block orientated tools
like "ums" and "rockusb".

It uses the Rockchip MTD driver to scan for boot blocks and copies
data from the first block in a GPT formatted virtual disk.
Data must be written in U-boot "idbloader.img" format and start at
partition "loader1" offset 64. The data header is parsed
for length and offset. When the last sector is received
it erases up to 5 erase blocks on NAND and writes boot blocks
in a pattern depending on the NAND ID. Data is then verified.
When a block turns out bad the block header is discarded.

Limitations:
Support for Rockchip boot block header type 1 only.
Pattern for listed NAND IDs only. (Logic still not disclosed by Rockchip)
The MTD framework driver data and NAND ID must be extracted at a lower level.
Only tested with rk3066 NFC v6.0.

Available rockmtd commands:
rockmtd bind <label>      - bind ROCKMTD device
rockmtd unbind <label>    - unbind ROCKMTD device
rockmtd info [<label>]    - show all available ROCKMTD devices
rockmtd dev [<label>]     - show or set current ROCKMTD device

U-boot settings:
Config to enable Rockchip MTD support:
CONFIG_MTD=y
CONFIG_MTD_RAW_NAND=y
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_DRIVER_ECC_LAYOUT=y
CONFIG_SYS_NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT=y
CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_NAND=y

Option to keep existing NAND data unchanged:
CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN=y

Commands to enable:
CONFIG_CMD_USB=y
CONFIG_CMD_ROCKMTD=y
CONFIG_CMD_ROCKUSB=y
CONFIG_CMD_USB_MASS_STORAGE=y

Linux Host (PC) tool commands combinations that work:
