Buffalo WZR600DHP (ar71xx generic)

device has two 16MB flash parts, for 32MB total, during firstboot I see 255 messages like this:

jffs2: Read of newly-erased block at 0x00d60000 failed: -122. Putting on bad_list

where only the block address varies.  Reverting to 4.4 kernel on the same hardware, and the problem goes away.

 - Software versions of LEDE release, packages, etc.

Current HEAD (1a533159519142753b79b2efcc8ea1d4146fe14b)
Reverting c84b7eaedd1b3c9b7e3e30248ab3d0050477f6d5 (back to 4.4.93) and the problem goes away.

 - Steps to reproduce

Problem occurs during firstboot after sysupgrade -n
