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.
