Hi Wolfram:

Thanks for your hard work.

It seems writing does not work for me. I use a MX28EVK, NAND is reported as:

[    1.670000] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x2c, Chip ID: 0xdc (Micron MT29F4G08ABADAWP)

With ubiformat or the mtd_stresstest-module, I get stuff like this:

root at device:~ ubiformat /dev/mtd0
ubiformat: mtd0 (nand), size 536870912 bytes (512.0 MiB), 4096 eraseblocks of 131072 bytes (128.0 KiB), min. I/O size 2048 bytes
libscan: scanning eraseblock 4095 -- 100 % complete
ubiformat: 4094 eraseblocks are supposedly empty
ubiformat: 2 bad eraseblocks found, numbers: 1243, 3935
ubiformat: formatting eraseblock 2 --  0 % complete

[  173.460000] [ read_data : 386 ] step 1 error
...

Reading works though, mtd_readtest passes. Wild guess: something wrong
with the safe timings, perhaps?

The log shows that it's a DMA failure.

I will debug it when i am free.
