QCOM NAND layout protect available OOB data bytes with ECC also so
when ecc->write_oob (qcom_nandc_write_oob) is being called then it
can't update just OOB bytes. Currently, it first reads the last
codeword which includes old OOB bytes. Then it updates the old OOB
bytes with new one and then again writes the codeword back.
The reading codeword is unnecessary since all the other bytes
should be 0xff only.

This patch removes the read part and updates the oob bytes with
all other data bytes as 0xff.

Hi Abhishek,

Some nitpicking below.

You can just state "->write_oob()"

                 ones?

                                      since the user is responsible to
have these bytes cleared to 0xFF.

The end of the sentence is not clear for me. Do you mean that padding
with 0xFF is realized before write?

What about "Pad the data area with OxFF before writing."?

You don't need to move this line here, do you?

Once fixed, you can add my:

  Thanks Miquel.
  I will fix all these and update the patch.
