The Freescale downstream vendor kernel has a patch that exports the bchflash geometry via a debugfs file. This is not available in mainline linuxkernels so the fallback method calculates the geometry based on known infofrom the mtd partition. A bug exists in this funcion where it fails toassume that block0 ECC is the same as the other blocks by default.--- a/src/mtd.c+++ b/src/mtd.c@@ -610,7 +610,7 @@ static int cal_nfc_geometry(struct mtd_d /* The two are fixed, please change them when the driver changes. */
