[MTD] [NAND] S3C2410 Large page NAND support
This adds support for using large page NAND devices
with the S3C24XX NAND controller. This also adds the
file Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/NAND.txt to
describe the differences.

7 | Small Page NAND | ||
8 | --------------- | ||
9 | |||
10 | The driver uses a 512 byte (1 page) ECC code for this setup. The | ||
11 | ECC code is not directly compatible with the default kernel ECC | ||
12 | code, so the driver enforces its own OOB layout and ECC parameters | ||
13 | |||
14 | Large Page NAND | ||
15 | --------------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | The driver is capable of handling NAND flash with a 2KiB page | ||
18 | size, with support for hardware ECC generation and correction. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Unlike the 512byte page mode, the driver generates ECC data for | ||
21 | each 256 byte block in an 2KiB page. This means that more than | ||
22 | one error in a page can be rectified. It also means that the | ||
23 | OOB layout remains the default kernel layout for these flashes. | ||
