pekon gupta 3f719069c8 mtd: nand: omap: add CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME for selection of ecc-scheme
This patch adds new CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME, replacing other distributed
CONFIG_xx used for selecting NAND ecc-schemes.
This patch aims at solving following issues.

1) Currently ecc-scheme is tied to SoC platform, which prevents user to select
   other ecc-schemes also supported in hardware. like;
 - most of OMAP3 SoC platforms use only 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme, inspite
   the fact that they can use higher ecc-schemes like 8-bit ecc-schemes with
   software based error detection (OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW).
 - most of AM33xx SoC plaforms use 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme for now, but hardware
   supports BCH16 ecc-scheme also.

2) Different platforms use different CONFIG_xx to select ecc-schemes, which
   adds confusion for user while migrating platforms.
 - *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM* which enables ELM hardware engine, selects only
    8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with h/w based error-correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW)
    whereas ELM hardware engine supports other ecc-schemes also like; BCH4,
    and BCH16 (in future).
 - *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8* selects 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with s/w based error
    correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW).
 - *CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SOFTECC* selects 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme using s/w library

Thus adding new *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME* de-couples ecc-scheme dependency
on SoC platform and NAND driver. And user can select ecc-scheme independently
foreach board.
However, selection some hardware based ecc-schemes (OMAP_ECC_BCHx_CODE_HW) still
depends on presence of ELM hardware engine on SoC. (Refer doc/README.nand)

This patch series adds support for ZFS listing and load to u-boot.

To Enable zfs ls and load commands, modify the board specific config file with
#define CONFIG_CMD_ZFS

Steps to test:

1. After applying the patch, zfs specific commands can be seen
   in the boot loader prompt using
	UBOOT #help

	zfsload- load binary file from a ZFS file system
	zfsls  - list files in a directory (default /)

2. To list the files in zfs pool, device or partition, execute
	zfsls <interface> <dev[:part]> [POOL/@/dir/file]
	For example:
	UBOOT #zfsls mmc 0:5 /rpool/@/usr/bin/

3. To read and load a file from an ZFS formatted partition to RAM, execute
	zfsload <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
	For example:
	UBOOT #zfsload mmc 2:2 0x30007fc0 /rpool/@/boot/uImage
