ae4a8104e3 UBI: rename scan.c to attach.c
Finally, rename the scan.c file. Now adding fastmap support won't look that
hacky anymore.

This file is small and it does not make sense to have it separate from where
everything else lives, so merge it with ubi.h.

9c47fb2fbe UBI: rename UBI_SCAN_UNKNOWN_EC
Rename the constant to UBI_UNKNOWN, for the same reason that we are going
to add nother attaching method and re-use the same data structures, so the
"SCAN" in the name becomes incorrect. I've also removed the "_EC" part because
Joel is going to use this constant for other fields in the attaching info data
structures.

fbd0107f4d UBI: amend comments after all the renamings
This patch amends commentaries in scan.[ch] to match the new logic. Reminder -
we did the restructuring to prepare the code for adding the fastmap. This patch
also renames a couple of functions - it was too difficult to separate out that
change and I decided that it is not too bad to have it in the same patch with
commentaries changes.

234e340582 simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()
Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

<smpl>
@ open @

-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)

 - More work on DiskOnChip G3, new driver for DiskOnChip G4.
 - Clean up debug/warning printks in JFFS2 to use pr_<level>.

Fix up various trivial conflicts, largely due to changes in calling
conventions for things like dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() (new inline
wrapper to hide new parameter, clashing with rewrite of previously last
parameter that used to be an 'append' flag, and is now a bitmap of
'unsigned long flags').

(Also some header file fallout - like so many merges this merge window -
and silly conflicts with sparse fixes)

3c3c10bba1 mtd: add leading underscore to all mtd functions
This patch renames all MTD functions by adding a "_" prefix:

mtd->erase -> mtd->_erase
mtd->read_oob -> mtd->_read_oob
...

The reason is that we are re-working the MTD API and from now on it is
an error to use MTD function pointers directly - we have a corresponding
API call for every pointer. By adding a leading "_" we achieve the following:

1. Make sure we convert every direct pointer users
2. A leading "_" suggests that this interface is internal and it becomes
   less likely that people will use them directly
3. Make sure all the out-of-tree modules stop compiling and the owners
   spot the big API change and amend them.

noticed that the 'MOVE_CANCEL_BITFLIPS' is a bit inconsistent name and
'MOVE_TARGET_BITFLIPS' better - let's rename it.

Now we have only one buffer so let's rename it to just 'peb_buf1'.

43b043e78b UBI: reduce memory consumption
Remove the pre-allocated 'peb_buf2' buffer because we do not really need it.
The only reason UBI has it is to check that the data were written correctly.
But we do not have to have 2 buffers for this and waste RAM - we can just
compare CRC checksums instead. This reduces UBI memory consumption.

7eb3aa6585 UBI: fix eraseblock picking criteria
The 'find_wl_entry()' function expects the maximum difference as the second
argument, not the maximum absolute value. So the "unknown" eraseblock picking
was incorrect, as Shmulik Ladkani spotted. This patch fixes the issue.

add8287e3f UBI: fix documentation and improve readability
The "max" parameter of 'find_wl_entry()' was documented incorrectly and
it actually means the maximum possible difference from the smallest erase
counter. Rename it to "diff" instead, and amend the documentation.
