Subject[BUG] Nand support broken with v2.6.36-rc1
Hello,

First of all, please CC me on any replies since I am not subscribed to one of the MLs.

I just tried compiling 2.6.36-rc1 for one of my embedded boards here and
noticed that nand support was apparently broken with -rc1.
In the syslog I see:

[ 231.039693] rbppc_nand_probe: MikroTik RouterBOARD 600 series NAND
driver, version 0.0.2
[ 231.048103] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xad, Chip ID: 0x76 (Hynix
NAND 64MiB 3,3V 8-bit)

This is the board I am using and the nand driver worked from 2.6.27 up
to 2.6.35 with no modifications

[ 231.056590] Scanning device for bad blocks
[ 231.063908] Bad eraseblock 56 at 0x0000000e0000
[ 231.068589] Bad eraseblock 57 at 0x0000000e4000
[ 231.073194] Bad eraseblock 58 at 0x0000000e8000
[ 231.077870] Bad eraseblock 59 at 0x0000000ec000
[ 231.082482] Bad eraseblock 60 at 0x0000000f0000
[ 231.087146] Bad eraseblock 61 at 0x0000000f4000
......
This continues for a long time

I know that this device has two badblocks. But with the new code almost
all blocks are marked as bad.
I tracked this down to commit:

c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79
mtd: nand: refactor BB marker detection

Reverting the code under drivers/mtd/nand to an earlier commit makes it
work again.
The only thing that might be special with the nand driver that is being
used is that a different oob layout is being used.

static struct nand_ecclayout rbppc_nand_oob_16 = {
.eccbytes = 6,
.eccpos = { 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 },
.oobavail = 9,
.oobfree = { { 0, 4 }, { 6, 2 }, { 11, 2 }, { 4, 1 } }
};

I am not sure if a driver change is needed, but seeing that the commit did not touch any specific nand driver code I do not think that this is the problem here.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can take a look at it.

Kind regards,
Michael Guntsche
