Merge tag 'for-linus-20161008' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd
Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
"I've not been very active this cycle, so these are mostly from Boris,
for the NAND flash subsystem.
NAND:
- Add the infrastructure to automate NAND timings configuration
- Provide a generic DT property to maximize ECC strength
- Some refactoring in the core bad block table handling, to help with
improving some of the logic in error cases.
- Minor cleanups and fixes
MTD:
- Add APIs for handling page pairing; this is necessary for reliably
supporting MLC and TLC NAND flash, where paired-page disturbance
affects reliability. Upper layers (e.g., UBI) should make use of
these in the near future"
