But it looks like the generic solution is to return the line which was
accidentally removed, how about this patch

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: return badblockbits back

In commit c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79 the initialization of
the backblockbits was accidentally removed. This patch returns it back,
because otherwise some NAND drivers are broken.

This problem was reported by "Saxena, Parth <parth.saxena@ti.com>" here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-April/035221.html

No, not late, I rebase my l2 tree with no shame :-) But once the patch
hits the real mtd tree, then we never change it. So, I've added you tag,
thanks.
