Legacy NAND had been scheduled for removal. Any boards that use this
were already not building in the previous release due to an #error.
The disk on chip code in common/cmd_doc.c relies on legacy NAND,
and it has also been removed. There is newer disk on chip code
in drivers/mtd/nand; someone with access to hardware and sufficient
time and motivation can try to get that working, but for now disk
on chip is not supported.

Remove CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC option. It's not just nasty;
it's also unused by any current boards, and doesn't even match the
main U-Boot distributions from TI (which use soft ECC, or 4-bit ECC
on newer chips that support it).
DaVinci GIT kernels since 2.6.24, and mainline Linux since 2.6.30,
match non-BROKEN code paths for 1-bit HW ECC. The BROKEN code paths
do seem to partially match what MontaVista/TI kernels (4.0/2.6.10,
and 5.0/2.6.18) do ... but only for small pages. Large page support
is really broken (and it's unclear just what software it was trying
to match!), and the ECC layout was making three more bytes available
for use by filesystem (or whatever) code.
Since this option itself seems broken, remove it. Add a comment
about the MV/TI compat issue, and the most straightforward way to
address it (should someone really need to solve it).

Legacy NAND is marked for feature removal after April 2009 (i.e. this
upcoming release). There are still several boards that reference it
(though many do so only for disk-on-chip support which has been silently
disabled for a while now). These boards will now fail to build
with #error, though the code is still there if the user removes #error.
The plan is to remove the code outright in the next release, along with
any board code that refers to it (such as board/esd/common/auto_update.c).
Also, remove the legacy NAND API description from README.nand.

This patch renames NAND_MAX_CHIPS to CONFIG_SYS_NAND_MAX_CHIPS and
changes the default from 8 to 1 for the legacy and the new MTD
NAND layer. This allows to remove all NAND_MAX_CHIPS definitions
in the board config files because none of the boards use multi
chip support (NAND_MAX_CHIPS > 1) so far. The bamboo and the DU440
define
#define NAND_MAX_CHIPS CONFIG_SYS_MAX_NAND_DEVICE
but that's bogus and did not work anyhow.

Based on original patch by Bernard Blackham <bernard@largestprime.net>
U-boot's HW ECC support for large page NAND on Davinci is completely
broken. Some kernels, such as the 2.6.10 one supported by
MontaVista for DaVinci, rely upon this broken behaviour as they
share the same code for ECCs. In the existing scheme, error
detection *might* work on large page, but error correction
definitely does not. Small page ECC correction works, but the
format is not compatible with the mainline git kernel.
This patch adds ECC code that matches what is currently in the
Davinci git repository (since NAND support was added in 2.6.24).
This makes the ECC and OOB layout written by u-boot compatible with
Linux for both small page and large page devices and fixes ECC
correction for large page devices.
The old behaviour can be restored by defining the macro
CFG_DAVINCI_BROKEN_ECC, which is undefined by default.
