Add a flag to nand_read_skip_bad() such that if true, any trailing pages in an eraseblock whose contents are entirely 0xff will be dropped.
The implementation is via a new drop_ffs() function which is based on the function of the same name from the ubiformat utility by Artem Bityutskiy. This is as-per the reccomendations of the UBI FAQ [1] Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <bengardi...@nanometrics.ca> CC: Artem Bityutskiy <dedeki...@gmail.com> [1] http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html#L_flasher_algo --- This behaviour was found to fix both UBI and JFFS2 images written to cleanly erased NAND partitions on da850evm.
