[PATCHv4 5/5] mtd: gpmi: prevent creating a new BBT when blockmark swapping is disabled

Hi Lothar,

On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 03:20:45PM +0200, Lothar Wa?mann wrote:
Without blockmark swapping, there is no use in creating a BBT from
scratch, so use a BBT descriptor with NAND_BBT_CREATE unset in this
case.
I'm curious: what is your plan if there is no BBT available on your
device, or if it ever gets corrupted? IIUC, nand_bbt will just assume
you have no bad blocks, and it will never write a bad block table to
flash. This also means no subsequent discoverable bad blocks can be
recorded across power cycles, I believe.

Maybe you don't want to specify your own nand_bbt_descr's at all, but
you just need to set:

	chip->bbt_options |= NAND_BBT_CREATE_EMPTY | NAND_BBT_NO_OOB;

(Note: there's a little bit of fuzziness about NAND_BBT_* flags, where
some are targeted for the nand_chip::bbt_options field, and others
belong in struct nand_bbt_descr::options.)

But if for some reason we need to keep this patch, a comment below:

My initial recommendation for this patch and the previous patch means
that you could just drop both patches and replace them with the
following:

			/* Comment here to explain why... */
			chip->bbt_options |= NAND_BBT_CREATE_EMPTY |
