This is essentially what mdadm will do when I fix it. Alternately you can use --assume-clean to tell it that the array is clean. It is actually a lie, but it is a harmless lie. Whenever any data is written to the array, that little part of the array will get "cleaned". (Note that this isn't true of raid5, only of raid6).
