OneNAND: Check first or second pages for bad block information

[Kyungmin Park]

Hi,

I'm not sure we have to check 2nd page. Yes, Spec. says we will check 1st and 2nd ones.

It increase the boot time even though it's smaller one than others.

Let me think, when we check 2nd page case.
In initial bad, no need to check 2nd page.
In runtime bad, it is only happend when first page write failed. But during write it has non-0xFF value. so next time it will be detected as invalid.

How do you think about it?

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park

Title  : [PATCH] [MTD] OneNAND: Check first or second pages for bad block
 information


OneNAND records bad block information in the out-of-band area of
either the first or second page of a block.  Due to a logic error,
only the first page was being checked.
