No, not late, I rebase my l2 tree with no shame :-) But once the patch
hits the real mtd tree, then we never change it. So, I've added you tag,
thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: return badblockbits back

In commit c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79 the initialization of
the backblockbits was accidentally removed. This patch returns it back,
because otherwise some NAND drivers are broken.

No, I had no intention of the sorts! It surely should not have been
removed in the first place. I will "ack" a patch to revert it, or next
time I'm at my work machine I'll write one myself.

As a defense for myself...I think I was relatively new to git + kernel
hacking at the time I sent this patch. Sorry for the messup.

Brian,

did you really intend to remove badblockbits? Maybe it should go back
to nand_base.c?

[RFC] mtd: nand: Fix bad block identification issue

2011-04-27 Thread Saxena, Parth
Commit e0b58d0 ("mtd: nand: add ->badblockbits for minimum number 
of set bits in bad block byte") by Maxim Levitsky added 
badblockbits to nand_chip to specify minimum number of set bits 
in bad block byte. The patch initialized badblockbits to 8 in 
nand_base.c, but later the initialization line got removed by commit
c7b28e2("mtd: nand: refactor BB marker detection"). After this all 
NAND drivers with NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN are forced to initialize it to 8.
Otherwise bad block identification will fail.

As a result, mounting of empty jffs2 file system on omap3evm
(having bad blocks) failed giving the following error message -

"mount: mounting /dev/mtdblock4 on /tmp failed: Input/output error"

This patch solves the above issue for omap by initialising
badblockbits. We are working further on this to find a generic fix
to the problem in nand_base.c.
