      Pull final mtd fixes from Brian Norris:
       "A few more last-minute regression fixes, prepared jointly by me and
        David Woodhouse:
      
         - Revert pxa3xx to its old name to avoid breaking existing
           'mtdparts=' boot strings.
      
         - Return GPMI NAND to its legacy ECC layout for backwards
           compatibility.  We will revisit this in 3.13.
      
        A note from David on the latter fix: 'This leaves a harmless cosmetic
        warning about an unused function.  At this point in the cycle I really
        don't care.'"

      mtd: gpmi: fix ECC regression · 031e2777
      David Woodhouse authored
      The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
      computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.
      
      Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
      makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
      provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
      for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:
      
         We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.
      
      We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
      the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
      release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.
      
      This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
      this point in the cycle I really don't care.

      seq_file: always update file->f_pos in seq_lseek() · 05e16745
      Gu Zheng authored
      This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no
      further comments:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41
      
      As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos
      and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos
      if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to
      m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the
      following program produces the problem:
      
          char str1[32] = { 0 };
          char str2[32] = { 0 };
          int poffset = 10;
          int count = 20;
      
          /*open any seq file*/
          int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY);
      
          pread(fd, str1, count, poffset);
          printf("pread:%s\n", str1);
      
          /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/
          lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET);
      
          /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/
          read(fd, str2, count);
          printf("read:%s\n", str2);
      
      out put:
      pread:
       ck_netbios_ns 12665
      read:
       nf_conntrack_netbios
      
      /proc/modules:
      nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000
      nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000
      
      So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.
