Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot into master
Conflicts: drivers/power/power_fsl.c include/configs/mx35pdk.h include/configs/mx53loco.h include/configs/woodburn_common.h board/woodburn/woodburn.c These boards still use the old old PMIC framework, so they do not merge properly after the power framework was merged into mainline. Fix all conflicts and update woodburn to use Power Framework. Signed-off-by: Stefano Babic <sbabic@denx.de>

+ "torture offset"
+ Torture block to determine if it is still reliable.
+ Enabled by the CONFIG_CMD_NAND_TORTURE configuration option.
+ This command returns 0 if the block is still reliable, else 1.
+ If the block is detected as unreliable, it is up to the user to decide to
+ mark this block as bad.
+ The analyzed block is put through 3 erase / write cycles (or less if the block
+ is detected as unreliable earlier).
+ This command can be used in scripts, e.g. together with the markbad command to
+ automate retries and handling of possibly newly detected bad blocks if the
+ nand write command fails.
+ It can also be used manually by users having seen some NAND errors in logs to
+ search the root cause of these errors.
+ The underlying nand_torture() function is also useful for code willing to
+ automate actions following a nand->write() error. This would e.g. be required
+ in order to program or update safely firmware to NAND, especially for the UBI
+ part of such firmware.
