MLK-9976: ARM: dts: NAND BBT inconsistency causes UBIFS randomly mount failed
NAND scans the bad blocks during kernel boots up, which invokes the
gpmi_ecc_read_oob function to check the badblock mark for each block. In
this function the oob data was raw read from NAND chip without ECC, so
it hardly to guarantee the consistency of the data considering the
possible bitflips. It found that in some MLC NAND the oob data changed
and consequently the BBT changed in different power cycles. This issue
may cause the UBIFS mount failed.
To fix this issue, add "nand_on_flash_bbt" option in dts to store the BBT
in NAND flash. On the first time kernel boot up, all bad blocks and
probably some fake bad block would be recognized and be recorded in
on-nand bad block table. From the second time boot, kernel will read BBT
from NAND Flash rather than calling gpmi_ecc_read_oob function to check
bad block.
No bad block would be missed when create BBT since the probability that
16bit bad block mark filps from 0x00 to 0xFF is extremely low.
