nand_util: drop trailing all-0xff pages if requested
Add a flag to nand_read_skip_bad() such that if true, any trailing pages in an eraseblock whose contents are entirely 0xff will be dropped. The implementation is via a new drop_ffs() function which is based on the function of the same name from the ubiformat utility by Artem Bityutskiy. This is as-per the reccomendations of the UBI FAQ [1] [1] http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html#L_flasher_algo Signed-off-by: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics.ca> CC: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@gmail.com> Acked-by: Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de> CC: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
