If we don't check for the MTD before calling `legacy_get_dev_info1', we may
get errors like:
libmtd: MTD subsystem is old and does not support sysfs, so MTD character device nodes have to exist
libmtd: error!: "/dev/mtd2" is not a character device
mtdinfo: error!: libmtd failed get MTD device 2 information
error 22 (Invalid argument)
So reverse the order of these two checks.

ioctl(MEMWRITE) is implemented with memdup_user(), and so it allocates
kernel memory in contiguous regions. This limits its usefulness for large
amounts of data, since contiguous kernel memory can become scarce. I have
experienced "out of memory" problems with ubiformat, for instance, which
writes in eraseblock-sized regions:
...
ubiformat: flashing eraseblock 12 -- 72 % complete
ubiformat: page allocation failure.
order:8, mode:0xd0

libmtd: error!: MEMWRITE ioctl failed for eraseblock 12 (mtd0)
error 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
ubiformat: error!: cannot write eraseblock 12
error 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
This error can be mitigated for now by only using ioctl(MEMWRITE) when we
need to write OOB data, since we can only do this in small transactions
anyway. Then, data-only transactions (like those originating from
ubiformat) can be carried out with write() calls.
This issue can also be solved within the kernel ioctl(), but either way,
this patch is still useful, since write() is more straightforward (and
efficient?) than ioctl() for data-only writes.

Legacy systems do not initialize lib->mtd, so we shouldn't perform
strlen(lib->mtd); this produces a segmentation fault. As this code isn't
used in the legacy codepath, we can just move it down to an 'else' branch.

Implement the 'legacy_dev_present()' function which will check whether an MTD
device is present by scanning the /proc/mtd file when the MTD subsystem does
not support sysfs (the case for pre-2.6.30 kernels).
This patch also moves the 'mtd_dev_present()' function to a slightly more
logical position.

When compiling mtd-utils against Android's bionic libc using the
supplied cross compiler environment it errors:
lib/libmtd.c: In function 'dev_node2num':
lib/libmtd.c:444: error: called object 'major' is not a function
lib/libmtd.c:445: error: called object 'minor' is not a function
lib/libmtd.c: In function 'mtd_probe_node':
lib/libmtd.c:1384: error: called object 'major' is not a function
lib/libmtd.c:1385: error: called object 'minor' is not a function
This patch updates the variable names for "major" and "minor" in two
places. It then compiles cleanly.
Artem: pick different names, also rename major1/minor1 variables for
consistency.

MEMWRITE is a recently introduced write interface for MTD; however, it
is only supported on NAND flash. mtd-utils should fall back to
old write methods when either ENOTTY or EOPNOTSUPP are returned.
This is a showstopper when, for instance, using ubiformat on NOR, which
don't have a mtd->write_oob interface (and thus don't support MEMWRITE):
ubiformat: formatting eraseblock 2 -- 1 % complete libmtd: error!: MEMWRITE ioctl failed for eraseblock 2 (mtd3)
error 122 (Operation not supported)

With the addition of the the new ioctl(MEMWRITE), we can use the
kernel's internal OOB autoplacement option. It's a cleaner interface and
avoids too much duplication of coding effort.
This patch moves any legacy code (using MEMGETOOBSEL) into a legacy
function in libmtd.c. It's not exactly a "pre-2.6.30" feature, so I'm not
moving it to libmtd_legacy.c.
Now, autoplacement features are only activated if we call mtd_write with
mode == MTD_OPS_AUTO_OOB. This should fix some discrepancies for
nandwrite, where we weren't handling OOB consistently (i.e., we had
different functionality when the kernel did/didn't support MEMWRITE).
But that also means that we now default to using MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB
instead of AUTO layout. To re-enable autoplacement, we can re-implement
the `--autoplace' option that had previously rotted.
This patch also cleans up a need for an extra OOB buffer in nandwrite.
This has been tested a little in nandsim as well as on SLC NAND flash.

To support the MEMWRITE ioctl, we will need a different sort of libmtd
interface for writing to flash. We will expand mtd_write to include more
functionality; for now, we just change the function definition and

The ubi-utils/src/ subdir is tossed as it just complicates things for no
real gain. The dictionary.h header is relocated to the ubi-utils/include/
since other headers in there need it.
The top level clean is replaced with a `find -delete` on objects, so it
might prune more than necessary, but many projects now do this sort of
thing and no one complained there.
A "mkdep" helper generates the actual rule, and the variables are used
with "foreach" to expand these automatically.
The tests subdir is updated only to reflect the ubi-utils source move.
Otherwise, it is left untouched as making that non-recursive isn't really
worth the effort.
While we're gutting things, also through in kbuild style output while
building to make things more legible.

The libcrc32.a is only used in one place: mkfs.ubifs. But this also
uses libmtd.a, and the only file in libcrc32.a is also in libmtd.a.
So libcrc32.a itself is completely redundant. Punt!

This patch first of all, re-names 'mtd_islocked()' into 'mtd_is_locked()' since
this seems to be the name Mike wanted, and it looks a bit nicer.
This patch also makes 'mtd_is_locked()' print an error message if it fails. I'm
not sure if it is good idea for a library to do so, but all functions do this,
so it certainly _not_ a good idea to be inconsistent.
However, for the special case, when the the "is locked" ioctl is not supported
or is not valid for this device, we do not print an error message and return
ENOTSUPP error code.
Thus, the user can distinguish between real errors and non-fatal "not
supported" cases.

When reading and writing OOB we specify the address as absolute
offset from the beginning of the MTD device. This offset is
basically an absolute page offset plus the OOB offset. And it does
not have to be aligned to the min. I/O unit size (NAND page size).
So fix the 'do_oob_op()' function and remove incorrect checking
that the offset is page-aligned. This check leads to the following
errors:
libmtd: error!: unaligned address 2, mtd0 page size is 2048
But obviously, the intent was to write to offset 2 of the OOB area
of the very first NAND page.
Instead of that incorrect check, we should check that the OOB offset
we write to is within the OOB size and the length is withing the OOB
size. This patch adds such check.

Since these functions take no parameters, declare them as such. The
subtle difference here is that gcc allows (without warning) people to

Because of namespace collisions mkfs.ubifs uses crc32() implementation from
/lib/libz.so.1, which generates incompatible CRC and later on the kernel reports
many CRC errors.
Fix this by re-naming mtd-utils' crc32 function to mtd_crc32.

This patch is based on Kevin Cernekee's patch posted to the MTD mailing
list. It adds 'mtd_read_oob()' and 'mtd_write_oob()' interfaces support.
The interfaces use MEMREADOOB64/MEMWRITEOOB64 MTD ioctls if possible, and
fall-back to MEMREADOOB/MEMWRITEOOB if the 64-bit versions are not supported.
The information about ioctls support is then cashed in 'offs64_ioctls'
libmtd flag.

This patch is base on Kevin Cernekee's patch posted to the MTD mailing
list. It adds MEMERASE64 support to the 'mtd_erase()' call. Now it
first tries to use MEMERASE64, and if that is not supported, falls
back to the old MEMERASE ioctl.
This patch also introduces an 'offs64_ioctl' flag to the libmtd
descriptor. However, we cannot initialize it in 'libmtd_open()',
because we need an MTD device node, which we do not have in
'libmtd_open()'. Thus, we firs mark this flag as "uninitialized",
and at the first invocation of 'mtd_erase()' we initialize it.
This also means that we have to pass the limbtd descriptor to
'mtd_erase()', to save the flag value. This, in turn, requires
tweaking 'mtd_erase()' users.
This is not very nice, but good enough so far.

Source files for libmtd, crc32, and fec are scattered throughout the
tree. Move them to a central location so they can be built into a
common "libmtd.a" library used by all mtd-utils programs.
This patch only renames/deletes files and does not change the content.
Also modify the build system and source code so that libmtd.a can be built
from a "common" location (lib/). Statically link all utilities at the top
level with libmtd.a . Minor changes to mkfs.ubifs to allow using the common
crc32 implementation.
