The first (sixt) byte in the OOB area contains vendor's bad block
information. During identification of the NAND chip this information is
collected by scanning the complete chip.
The option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT is used to store this information in a sector so
we don't have to scan the complete flash. Unfortunately the code stores
a marker, in order to recognize the BBT, in the OOB area. This will fail
if the OOB area is completely used for ECC.
This patch introduces the option NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT_NO_OOB which has to be
used with NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT. It will then store BBT on flash without
touching the OOB area. The BBT format on flash remains same except the
first page starts with the recognition pattern followed by the no longer
optional version byte.
This change was tested in nandsim and on real HW with this issue.

Few minor things.

First, is it please possible to add more descriptive comment into the
code. Something like you put to the patch description, may be even a bit
more descriptive. May be to the header of nand_bbt.c?

The idea is that the BBT code is quite difficult to follow, and you make
it even more complex, so a comment describing various flavors of BBT
would be very useful.

And then several stylistic nitpicks.

These extra whits spaces are not really needed. Ideally, your patch
should make checkpatch.pl happy.

Yes, this is the right multi-line comment. You may also put a dot at the
end. But in other places you used not the right multi-line comments.

Extra blank line.

And here.

Would be nice to convert this to the right multi-line comment.

And this. Yeah, I know this file uses different styles, but you could
convert even all of them.

We usually don't have description in C code. Usually there is kernel doc
which describe the function and some description in Documentation/
which describes how should work. I could add something to the header of
the file and we move it leater to Doc*/mtd/bbt_hadling.txt ?

Okay.

I can get rid of a few extra lines. checkpatch was happy with the patch
except with one >80 line which had 81.

The missing dot is probally easy to fix. Other place where I did not use
correct multi-line comments are the .h file were I successfully
attempted to follow the style there. I'm going to fix it as well.

I would prefer to send a cleanup afterwards and not mixing code changes
with no changes.
You want someone to keep checkpatch shut for other files as well or just
this one?

My point was that it is better to have a somewhat descriptive comment
in .c file which explains the differences in BBTs and reasons for them
and classifies them. This helps a lot. I mean, .c file comment is better
than no comments.

But a got Doc*/mtd/bbt_hadling.txt would be perfect, if you go that far,
this would be even better.

Thanks!

Ok.

You could do this for this file, but if you do for other files, this is
even better :-) Do as much extra contribution as you feel like!
