The original nandbcb tool was designed for imx6 only, when trying to
leverage it to replace the kobs-ng tool, we found the design is not
friendly for supporting all platforms. To support all iMX6/7/8 platforms
and for easy further maintain, I reconstruct the structure of the tool.
The main changes including:
1. Use platform_data to determine the logic branches rather than simply
use SOC name.
2. More data structures as parameter for functions.
3. Global variables to define the FCB/DBBT/FW locations.
4. Implement the kobs-ng default 4 FCB/4 DBBT/2 FW layout.
5. Support Hamming coding/ 40bit BCH/ 62bit BCH coding FCB.
6. Dump and compare all written FCB/DBBT to verify data integrity.
The tool has been verified on iMX6Q/DL, 6SX, 7D, 6ULL, iMX8QX, iMX8MM.

Add support for updating FCB/DBBT on i.MX7:
- additional new fields in FCB structure
- Leverage hardware BCH/randomizer for writing FCB

Writing/updating boot image in nand device is not
straight forward in i.MX6 platform and it requires
boot control block(BCB) to be configured.
It becomes difficult to use uboot 'nand' command to
write BCB since it requires platform specific attributes
need to be taken care of.
It is even difficult to use existing msx-nand.c driver by
incorporating BCB attributes like mxs_dma_desc does
because it requires change in mtd and nand command.
So, cmd_nandbcb implemented in arch/arm/mach-imx
BCB contains two data structures, Firmware Configuration Block(FCB)
and Discovered Bad Block Table(DBBT). FCB has nand timings,
DBBT search area, page address of firmware.
On summary, nandbcb update will
- erase the entire partition
- create BCB by creating 2 FCB/DBBT block followed by
1 FW block based on partition size and erasesize.
- fill FCB/DBBT structures
- write FW/SPL on FW1
- write FCB/DBBT in first 2 blocks
for nand boot, up on reset bootrom look for FCB structure in
first block's if FCB found the nand timings are loaded for
further reads. once FCB read done, DTTB will load and finally
firmware will be loaded which is boot image.
Refer section "NAND Boot" from doc/imx/common/imx6.txt for more usage
information.
