[PATCH v2 1/3] mtd: nand: add NAND_NEED_SCRAMBLING option flag

From: Boris Brezillon <hidden>
Date: 2015-12-02 11:02:06
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory technology devices (mtd), nand flash subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Miquel Raynal, Richard Weinberger, Vignesh Raghavendra, Linus Torvalds

Some MLC NANDs are sensitive to repeated patterns and require data to be
scrambled in order to limit the number of bitflips.
Add a new flag to let the NAND controller know about this constraint.
