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.
I think we can use a special bbt pattern to indicate whether migration has been done.
(we needn't to define another marker)

Do the migration our chip->scan_bbt as follow :

/*
* this pattern indicate that the bad block information has been migrated,
* if this isn't found, we do the migration.
*/
static u8 migrated_bbt_pattern[] = {'M', 'b', 'b', 't', '0' };

static int fsl_elbc_bbt(struct mtd_info *mtd)
{
if (!check_migrated_bbt_pattern())
bad_block_info_migtrate();

nand_default_bbt(mtd); /* default function in nand_bbt.c */
}
