The core currently send the READ0 and SEQIN+PAGEPROG commands in nand_do_read/write_ops(). This is inconsistent with ->read/write_oob[_raw]() hooks behavior which are expected to send these commands. There's already a flag (NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS) to inform the core that a specific controller wants to send the READ/SEQIN+PAGEPROG commands on its own, but it's an opt-in flag, and existing drivers are unlikely to be updated to pass it. Moreover, some controllers cannot dissociate the READ/PAGEPROG commands from the associated data transfer and ECC engine activation, and developers have to hack things in their ->cmdfunc() implementation to handle such complex cases, or have to accept the perf penalty of sending twice the same command. To address this problem we are planning on adding a new interface which is passed all information about a NAND operation (including the amount of data to transfer) and replacing all calls to ->cmdfunc() to calls to this new ->exec_op() hook. But, in order to do that, we need to have all ->cmdfunc() calls placed near their associated ->read/write_buf/byte() calls. Modify the core and relevant drivers to make NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS the default case, and remove this flag.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
