This is a revision to PATCH 2/2 that I sent. Link: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-July/030911.html Added new flag for scanning of both bytes 1 and 6 of the OOB for a BB marker (instead of simply one or the other). The "check_pattern" and "check_short_pattern" functions were updated to include support for scanning the two different locations in the OOB. In order to handle increases in variety of necessary scanning patterns, I implemented dynamic memory allocation of nand_bbt_descr structs in new function 'nand_create_default_bbt_descr()'. This replaces some increasingly-unwieldy, statically-declared descriptors. It can replace several more (e.g. "flashbased" structs). However, I do not test the flashbased options personally. How this was tested: I referenced 30+ data sheets (covering 100+ parts), and I tested a selection of 10 different chips to varying degrees. Particularly, I tested the creation of bad-block descriptors and basic BB scanning on three parts: ST NAND04GW3B2D, 2K page ST NAND128W3A, 512B page Samsung K9F1G08U0A, 2K page To test these, I wrote some fake bad block markers to the flash (in OOB bytes 1, 6, and elsewhere) to see if the scanning routine would detect them properly. However, this method was somewhat limited because the driver I am using has some bugs in its OOB write functionality.
