[PATCH] Error free RO mtdblock device for NAND chips

Well, obviously this thing will not work since I mistakenly
use a block size of 512, instead of the erase size
of the device as supported by the nandwrite utility.

My device had no bad blocks, so everything worked by chance.

Reading the NAND documentation for the JFFS2 OOB usage
it states the the valid block marker is used for the first page
in a block.

I thought that it meant a block device block, but it appears
that it is the erase block.

So a new patch will be produced shortly.

Regards

Pantelis
