Freescale FCM controller has a 2K size limitation of buffer RAM. In order
to support the Nand flash chip whose page size is larger than 2K bytes,
we read/write 2k data repeatedly by issuing FIR_OP_RB/FIR_OP_WB and save
them to a large buffer.

v3:
-remove page_size of struct fsl_elbc_mtd.
-do a oob write by NAND_CMD_RNDIN.

What is the plan for bad block marker migration?
This patch has been ported to uboot now, I think we can make a special uboot image for bad
block marker migration when first use the chip.

We need to limit ourselves to the regions that have actually been
written to in the buffer. fbcr needs to be set separately for first and
last subpages, with intermediate subpages having 0, 64, or 2112 as
appropriate. Subpages that are entirely before column or entirely after
column + index should be skipped.

I have considered this case, but I don't think it is useful.
1.There isn't a 'length' parameter in driver interface, although we can get it from 'index - column'.
2.To see nand_do_write_oob() in nand_base.c, it fill '0xff' to entire oob area first and write the user data by nand_fill_oob(), then call ecc.write_oob (default is nand_write_oob_std()). 'column' is mtd->writesize and 'length' of write_buf() is mtd->oobsize. So I don't think we need to deal with it there.

Please explicitly show the (FIR_OP_NOP<< FIR_OP0_SHIFT) compenent.

Ok.
