commit 36415a7964711822e63695ea67fede63979054d9 upstream

The brcmnand driver contains a bug in which if a page (example 2k byte)
is read from the parallel/ONFI NAND and within that page a subpage (512
byte) has correctable errors which is followed by a subpage with
uncorrectable errors, the page read will return the wrong status of
correctable (as opposed to the actual status of uncorrectable.)

The bug is in function brcmnand_read_by_pio where there is a check for
uncorrectable bits which will be preempted if a previous status for
correctable bits is detected.

The fix is to stop checking for bad bits only if we already have a bad
bits status.

Why is this a RESEND?  What happened with the first set?

I forgot to copy stable and you and Sasha, wanted to make it clear to the
MTD folks why this is being resent.

But this commit is already in the 4.14.268 and 4.19.231 release, why do
we need to add it again?

We don't, sorry I got an email that the patch failed to apply and forgot to check 4.19 and 4.14 thinking they would not be there.

Thanks!
