There is an extra check in JFFS2 which makes shure that the newly 
earased flash eraseblock contains only 0xFF bytes. In fact, this is 
overkill and I'd like to move that check into the JFFS2 debugging stuff.

JFFS2 issued the erase command then found that the block contains some 
trash. That's not JFFS2's fault. Dig your flash driver/hardware.
