     'This pull request contains only one notable change:
       - Addition of the MTK NAND controller driver

      And a bunch of specific NAND driver improvements/fixes. Here are the

       - A few fixes for the sunxi NAND controller driver
       - Support for DMA in the sunxi NAND driver

       - Support for new brcmnand IPs
       - Update of the OMAP-GPMC binding to support DMA channel description'

    In addition, some small fixes around error handling, etc., as well
    as one long-standing corner case issue (2.6.20, I think?) with
    writing 1 byte less than a page.

  NOR:

   - rework some error handling on reads and writes, so we can better
     handle (for instance) SPI controllers which have limitations on
     their maximum transfer size

   - add new Cadence Quad SPI flash controller driver

   - add new Atmel QSPI flash controller driver

   - add new Hisilicon SPI flash controller driver

   - support a few new flash, and update supported features on others

   - fix the logic used for detecting a fully-unlocked flash

  And other miscellaneous small fixes"

<title>mtd: add arch dependency for MTD_BCM47XXSFLASH symbol</title>

<content type='text'>
We dropped strict MIPS dependency for bcm47xxsflash driver in:
commit 5651d6aaf489 ("mtd: bcm47xxsflash: use ioremap_cache() instead of
KSEG0ADDR()") but using ioremap_cache still limits building it to few
selected architectures only.

A recent commit 57d8f7dd2132 ("bcma: allow enabling serial flash support
on non-MIPS SoCs") automatically dropped MIPS dependency for
MTD_BCM47XXSFLASH which broke building e.g. on powerpc and cris.

The bcma change is alright as it doesn't break building bcma code in any
way. MTD_BCM47XXSFLASH on the other hand should be limited to archs
which need it and can build it (by providing ioremap_cache).

An opal_msg of type OPAL_MSG_ASYNC_COMP contains the return code in the
params[1] struct member. However this isn't intuitive or obvious when
reading the code and requires that a user look at the skiboot
documentation or opal-api.h to verify this.

Add an inline function to get the return code from an opal_msg and update
call sites accordingly.

<content type='text'>
Change the return value of spi-nor device read and write methods to
allow returning amount of data transferred and errors as
read(2)/write(2) does.

Also, start handling positive returns in spi_nor_read(), since we want
to convert drivers to start returning the read-length both via *retlen
and the return code. (We don't need to do the same transition process
for spi_nor_write(), since -&gt;write() didn't used to have a return code
at all.)

allow returning amount of data transferred and errors as
read(2)/write(2) does.

Also, start handling positive returns in spi_nor_read(), since we want
to convert drivers to start returning the read-length both via *retlen
and the return code. (We don't need to do the same transition process
for spi_nor_write(), since -&gt;write() didn't used to have a return code
at all.)
