updating an ubi partition needs a completely erased mtd partition,

So, add partubi alt setting for the dfu_alt_info environment
variable to mark this partition as an ubi partition. In case we
update an ubi partition, we erase after flashing the image into the
partition, the remaining sektors.

- This patch is also a good starting point to fix up updating ubi, as
we currently use "nand erase" for erasing the sektors. This is
not the prefered way for writing an ubi image, see:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html#L_flash_img

This must be fixed ... we have no "ubiformat" in u-boot, or?

The lack of erase counter preservation is a problem, but the part about ECC on 
erased pages is dealt with in U-Boot by the WITH_DROP_FFS flag.

Ah, ok!

- changes for v2:
- do not use spread = 1 for nand_erase_opts, to prevent
errormessage if there are bad blocks in the erase range.

Instead of separately erasing the remainder of the partition, how about 
recognizing up front that it's UBI (or that a full partition erase is otherwise 
desired) and erasing the full partition then? Besides being cleaner, it would 
be easier to convert to
an ubi-aware mechanism.

I tried this too, but if I erase the hole partition first (when
a dfu transfer is started) I got:

GADGET DRIVER: usb_dnl_dfu
dfu_write: Wrong sequence number! [7] [0]
dfu_write: Wrong sequence number! [7] [1]
dfu_write: Wrong sequence number! [7] [2]

So, this version needs more investigation ...

bye,
Heiko
