bad-block skipping

[Matteo Facchinetti]

Hello,

I'm porting a MTD nand controller driver from kernel 3.9.4 to 3.13.0-rc2.
I need help because when I try to erase my nand flash partition in 
version 3.13, I have errors that never seen before (in version 3.9.4).

In detail, with flash_erase command:
# flash_erase /dev/mtd1 0 0
I'm expecting this output when it encounters a bad block:
...
     Skipping bad block at <block number>
...

But, in my porting, I have the following output: [see at the end]

Where the first is a bad block and the last 4 blocks are reserved for BBT.

Why it occurs?

Best regards,
Matteo
