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"

+- nand-ecc-maximize: boolean used to specify that you want to maximize ECC

 The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
 of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
 errors per {size} bytes".
