> A newly erased page contains ff in data as well as spare area. While reading an
> erased page, the read out ecc from spare area does not match the ecc generated
> by fsmc ecc hardware accelarator. This is because ecc of data ff ff is not ff
> ff. This leads to errors when jffs2 fs erases and reads back the pages to
> ensure consistency.
>
> This patch adds a software workaround to ensure that the ecc check is not
> performed for erased pages. An erased page is checked by checking data as ff ff.
