In one customer's 3G router which uses the MX28:
[0] NAND boot mode, mount the UBIFS in the NAND partition.
[1] We used the gpmi_reset_block(r->bch_regs, true) to init the BCH module.
[2] The board will automatically reboot again after it booted by NAND
boot mode.
[3] After reboot more then thousands times(cost nearly one day), the BCH
mode became UNSTABLE,
the data read out was not right, so the system could not mount the UBIFS.

After we use gpmi_reset_block(r->bch_regs, false) to init the BCH
module, the bug never happens.



The gpmi_reset_block() was coded to avoid the NAND boot bug in MX23. So
MX23 does not have the bug.

Yes, this is the bug 2847 from the mx23's errata.

I will add some comments to it.
