    mtd: nand: use ECC, if present, when scanning OOB · a7e68834
    Brian Norris authored
    scan_read_raw_oob() is used in only in places where the MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB mode
    is preferable to MTD_OPS_RAW mode, so use MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB instead.
    MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB provides the same functionality with the potential[1] added
    bonus of error correction.
    
    This brings scan_block_full() in line with scan_block_fast() so that they
    both read bad block markers with MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB. This can help in
    preventing 0xff markers (in good blocks) from being interpreted as bad
    block indicators in the presence of a single bitflip.
    
    Note that ECC error codes (EUCLEAN or EBADMSG) are already silently
    ignored in all users of scan_read_raw_oob().
    
    [1] Few  drivers perform proper error correction on OOB data. In those
        cases, the use of MTD_OPS_RAW vs. MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB is not
        significant.
