Because of this patch I can no longer load g_ether module with host_addr= and
dev_addr= parameters.
The module is always loaded using factory mac for HOST and random mac for DEV.
That messes up my setup a bit, as I use NetworkManager 0.7 on FreeRunner
itself (and it expects DEV mac to be the same each time).
Would it be a problem to also include g_ether.dev_addr?
Attached patch solves my problem.

There's one more thing that wants dynpart computed block offset -
the kernel offset used for NAND boot.
This patch moves the business end of the dynparts computation into
the port_init_gta02() so it's done earlier, and writes the block
index into the board_api struct NAND option's partition block start
field.
It also adds a field to the nand_dynparts struct so we can hold both
the true length and true block offset for each partition for later
use by the original code in append_device_specific_cmdline_gta02.

Now everything else is in place, we are able to mount
the GTA02 "identity" partition and extract the USB Ethernet
MAC Address from it, and add it to the kernel commandline.
This causes the Ethernet gadget to use the same MAC address
each boot, simplifying DHCP server situation. The MAC
address in the identity partition is globally unique from
the factory.

Previously we insisted on NAND block granularity read addressing
and buffer length, even though we normalized the block indexing to
512 bytes to be compatible with ext2 and SD.
This patch improves the read functions so they are completely 512-
block friendly, any number of 512 byte blocks can be fetched from
any 512 byte boundary now.

This adds dynamic partition computation support for Qi on GTA02.
It's for compatability with existing GTA02 using U-Boot partition
scheme where a bad block in the previous partition moves on the
start of the next partition by one block.
It's important that Qi has no private state, so we need to compute
the NAND arrangement each boot. It turns out this is extremely fast
using Qi's bad block code originally from Xinagfu.

Changes in the last couple of weeks aimed at cleaning this
code broke the block device init cache logic. This patch
restores the logic and reduces the card init failures when
there is no SD Card present to 1 regardless of the number
of partitions probed on the card.
Together with the reduction in Glamo card wait on init this
reduces the delay before trying NAND to 1/9th of before the
patches.

3000 retries is a very long time for an SD card to wake up,
far longer than should be necessary. This patch reduces it
to 1000.

On ext2 the symlink can be stored in inode itself if it's not larger than
60 bytes. If the symlink path is exactly 60 bytes, then one more byte is
needed to store terminating NULL, therefore the path is placed in a
separate block.
The PMU initializes all GPIOs to inputs in NoPower, including GPIO2,
which drives GSM_ON and has an external pull-up. Furthermore, we may
have entered PMU.Standby with the modem up.
Unlike u-boot, qi didn't initialize the GPIOs. With this patch is
does.

On the devices where we have only 2 physical buttons, one of those buttons
(i.e. POWER) is connected directly to PMU. The other button (AUX) is
connected directly to S3C pin and we can get its state immediately, it is
currently used to skip a boot possibility. To allow user to debug boot
problems we can use the POWER button, but we cannot poll for it too many
times as it slows down the boot considerably, therefore a dedicated
function is needed.
Finally all the restructuring pays off: we can cleanly separate the
uImage loader from all the rest, which will make it easy to add
loaders for other kernel image formats.

This makes things a little easier to read, particularly when we return
this pointer from a function, which we'll do in the next patch.

Is it really correct to set last_block_init to the next entry ?
It would seem that the current (i.e., bogus) values are then just
used without further ado. Untested.

This puts the loop body in a new function called try_this_kernel.
As an added benefit, we can drop one level of indentation.
This change is hard to read as a patch. It gets better if one just
applies it and then looks at it with "git diff -w" or similar.

On Ubuntu 8.04.1 there can be spaces inside the initial bracketed
uptime number after a reboot. These spaces disappear once the uptime
is large enough. Therefore, use sed to filter out these spaces so
that the cut command that extracts SD card size will always work.

There's not enough time between Glamo init (now after pcf50633 init)
and the completion of machine init before we try to use the boot device
in the case of GTA02 and SD boot. So we add rootdelay=1 to the SD
card boot cases

This patch effectively doubles maximum time allowed for retries performed by
mmc_init. Also, the delay was shortened to lower the average time needed to
init a card. Without it, i was unable to boot from Transcend TS8GUSDHC4
(appending rootdelay=1 was necessary as well).
Change to input / pulldown on most GPIO. With no battery and just
USB power, this gets us into suspend with 9.5mA at 5V consumption... but
Ben Dooks told that we don't put the mDDR into deep sleep yet in the
platform pm code, so this should come right down when we have that.
The suspend is otherwise real though, PWREN to the PMU goes down, and
when we wake the device Qi is able to see it is a resume wake and jumps
back into Linux, where we currently die due to issues on s3c6410 platform
code getting worked on.

This patch turns on the SYS and BAT monitoring filters, and checks if the battery
meets the BAT OK threshold. If it doesn't, which is the case if the battery is
not present, it disables the "indicator" (eg, LED, vibrator) stuff and holds the
CPU at 200MHz during the boot into Linux.
This allows the GTA02 A6 here to boot with no battery up to the point it is
going to bring up backlight, and this with 100mA limit on USB at PMU. Enabling
the threshold filters for battery and SYS seems to have been critical in
getting any stability with this.

tty0 is the LCM... this patch changes the defaults so that the kernel
always treats tty0 as a console, but it also sets the loglevel so that
only KERN_ERR or worse will be printed there. With matching changes
to the kernel, most of the noise at KERN_ERR is reduced to KERN_INFO,
so it gets the behviour the LCM by default is not cluttered with
messages unless they are important during boot.

Despite what the docs say, steppingstone is always resident at
0x40000000 on s3c2442, this patch changes our linker script to
stick all steppingstone code there. The mapping of steppingstone
at 0x0 is broken by OM[] bus change dynamically caused for example
by GTA02 AUX button actuation.
