Commit Message

Miquel Raynal Jan. 11, 2018, 9:42 p.m. UTC
Starting from commit 041e4575f034 ("mtd: nand: handle ECC errors in
OOB"), nand_do_read_oob() (from the NAND core) did return 0 or a
negative error, and the MTD layer expected it.

However, the trend for the NAND layer is now to return an error or a
positive number of bitflips. Deciding which status to return to the user
belongs to the MTD layer.

Commit e47f68587b82 ("mtd: check for max_bitflips in mtd_read_oob()")
brought this logic to the mtd_read_oob() function while the return value
coming from nand_do_read_oob() (called by the ->_read_oob() hook) was
left unchanged.

Fixes: e47f68587b82 ("mtd: check for max_bitflips in mtd_read_oob()")

  - s/->ecc.read_oob() hook/->_read_oob() hook/ in the commit message
  - Fixed the compilation issue

This is wrong, you're only returning the max number of bitflips of the
last OOB read.

I forgot about the while loop, that's right.

There will be a v3 :)

Thanks,
