IPQ8064 nand have special pages where a different layout scheme is used. These special page are used by boot partition and on reading them lots of warning are reported about wrong ECC data and if written to results in broken data and not bootable device. The layout scheme used by these special page consist in using 512 bytes as the codeword size (even for the last codeword) while writing to CFG0 register. This forces the NAND controller to unprotect the 4 bytes of spare data. Since the kernel is unaware of this different layout for these special page, it does try to protect the spare data too during read/write and warn about CRC errors. Add support for this by permitting the user to declare these special pages in dts by declaring offset and size of the partition. The driver internally will convert these value to nand pages. On user read/write the page is checked and if it's a boot page the correct layout is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
