JFFS2 peoblems with K3 strata flash on Dalhart

[Yuan, Cain]

Hi  David,
	According to your email  I  rebuild a JFFS2 image with the   block
size 0x10000,  same as the datasheet saids.
but the problem still exist.  First bootup will success without any error
message. but when I reset the board and boot it again, many errors occurs.
