Merge tag 'for-linus-3.5-20120601' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd
Pull mtd update from David Woodhouse: - More robust parsing especially of xattr data in JFFS2 - Updates to mxc_nand and gpmi drivers to support new boards and device tree - Improve consistency of information about ECC strength in NAND devices - Clean up partition handling of plat_nand - Support NAND drivers without dedicated access to OOB area - BCH hardware ECC support for OMAP - Other fixes and cleanups, and a few new device IDs Fixed trivial conflict in drivers/mtd/nand/gpmi-nand/gpmi-nand.c due to added include files next to each other. * tag 'for-linus-3.5-20120601' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd: (75 commits) mtd: mxc_nand: move ecc strengh setup before nand_scan_tail mtd: block2mtd: fix recursive call of mtd_writev mtd: gpmi-nand: define ecc.strength mtd: of_parts: fix breakage in Kconfig mtd: nand: fix scan_read_raw_oob mtd: docg3 fix in-middle of blocks reads mtd: cfi_cmdset_0002: Slight cleanup of fixup messages mtd: add fixup for S29NS512P NOR flash. jffs2: allow to complete xattr integrity check on first GC scan jffs2: allow to discriminate between recoverable and non-recoverable errors mtd: nand: omap: add support for hardware BCH ecc ARM: OMAP3: gpmc: add BCH ecc api and modes mtd: nand: check the return code of 'read_oob/read_oob_raw' mtd: nand: remove 'sndcmd' parameter of 'read_oob/read_oob_raw' mtd: m25p80: Add support for Winbond W25Q80BW jffs2: get rid of jffs2_sync_super jffs2: remove unnecessary GC pass on sync jffs2: remove unnecessary GC pass on umount jffs2: remove lock_super mtd: gpmi: add gpmi support for mx6q ...
