SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] MTD: NAND: add OOB layout without ECC bytes
+Yoshi

Hi Miquel,

Subject prefix should be "mtd: nand: " in lowercase.

Yes, that's true, but as said below, I expect the toshiba driver to
explicitly set this layout.

Well, it's still supposed to be used when ECC_NONE is set, except we can
only use it for cases that were not already falling in the supported
large/small page with ECC cases.

No need to export those symbols until someone really needs them.
BTW, they are exported but not declared in nand.h, so right now nobody can
use them.

This kind of on-die ECC is not yet supported and I'd expect NAND
manufacturer drivers to set the appropriate layout before reaching this
point, so that's not really relevant here.

That's not exactly what I was suggesting. What I had in mind was:

if (ecc->mode == NAND_ECC_NONE) {
/*
* Expose the whole OOB area to users if ECC_NONE
* is passed. We could do that for all kind of
* ->oobsize, but we must keep the old
* large/small page with ECC layout for
* compatibility reasons.
*/
if (mtd->writesize <= 512)
mtd_set_ooblayout(mtd,
&nand_ooblayout_sp_no_ecc_ops);
else
mtd_set_ooblayout(mtd,
&nand_ooblayout_lp_no_ecc_ops);

break;
}

WARN(1, "No oob scheme defined for oobsize %d\n",
mtd->oobsize);
ret = -EINVAL;
goto err_free;
