This patch does indeed fix our issues :-)
I'm able to run the nanddump command without any timeouts and
run without bbt (not that i would prefer that).
root at output-module:~# nanddump -oa /dev/mtd1
ECC failed: 0
ECC corrected: 0
Number of bad blocks: 0
Number of bbt blocks: 8
Block size 131072, page size 2048, OOB size 64
Dumping data starting at 0x00000000 and ending at 0x0ff00000...
UBIXS
Please submit a patch.
Thanks
