This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob
...

The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:

1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
spot the big API change and amend them.

Start moving away from the MTD_DEBUG_LEVEL messages. The dynamic
debugging feature is a generic kernel feature that provides more
flexibility.

(See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt)

Also fix some punctuation, indentation, and capitalization that went
along with the affected lines.

The 'param' parameter has never been used since its introduction, so
simply remove it.

c4e773764cead9358fd4b036d1b883fff3968513 18-Apr-2010 Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> mtd: fix a huge latency problem in the MTD CFI and LPDDR flash drivers.

The use of a memcpy() during a spinlock operation will cause very long
thread context switch delays if the flash chip bandwidth is low and the
data to be copied large, because a spinlock will disable preemption.

For example: A flash with 6,5 MB/s bandwidth will cause under ubifs,
which request sometimes 128 KiB (the flash erase size), a preemption delay of
20 milliseconds. High priority threads will not be served during this
time, regardless whether this threads access the flash or not. This behavior
breaks real time.

The patch changes all the use of spin_lock operations for xxxx->mutex
into mutex operations, which is exact what the name says and means.

I have checked the code of the drivers and there is no use of atomic
pathes like interrupt or timers. The mtdoops facility will also not be used
by this drivers. So it is dave to replace the spin_lock against mutex.

There is no performance regression since the mutex is normally not
acquired.

69423d99fc182a81f3c5db3eb5c140acc6fc64be 10-Dec-2008 Adrian Hunter <ext-adrian.hunter@nokia.com> [MTD] update internal API to support 64-bit device size

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged. Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one
needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.

Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.

In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
- printk message formats
- division and modulus of 64-bit values
- NAND base support
- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
in MEMERASE ioctl

This is on a custom board with a mapping driver access to an ST
M50LPW080 chip. This chip is probed successfully with
do_map_probe("jedec_probe",...). If I use the mtdchar interface to
perform unlock->erase->program->lock on any of the 16 eraseblocks in the
chip, the chip is left in FL_STATUS mode while the data structures
believe that the chip is in FL_READY mode. Hence, any subsequent reads
to any flash byte results in 0x80 being read.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
