Subject: mtd: add support for bad blocks in NAND flash
X-Git-Url: https://git.librecmc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=608f4fe3b040089b30a019f1a28efeda1ca5809f;p=librecmc%2Flibrecmc.git

mtd: add support for bad blocks in NAND flash

NAND flash is very likely to contain bad blocks.

Currently, mtd and therefore sysupgrade fails when it encounters a single bad block, potentially leaving an unbootable system.

This patch allows the mtd utility to skip bad blocks in NAND flash and complete sysupgrade successfully.
