I applied the patchset but I still get the same error when trying to mount a JFFS2 
filesystem. My nand is:

[    0.819654] ONFI param page 0 valid
[    0.823179] ONFI flash detected
[    0.826344] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x2c,Chip ID: 0xaa (Micron MT29F2G08ABBEAH4)
[    0.834455] NAND device: 256MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64

The same happens on the MX28EVK where I use nand:

[    0.894127] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec,Chip ID: 0xdc (Samsung NAND 512MiB 
3,3V 8-bit)
[    0.902876] NAND device: 512MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64

~# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /media/nand/
[   26.821947] jffs2: inconsistent device description
mount: mounting /dev/mtdblock4 on /media/nand/ failed: Invalid argument

Am I missing anything?
