This commit adds a new platform-data boolean property that enables use of a flash-based bad block table. This can also be enabled by setting the 'nand-on-flash-bbt' devicetree property. If the flash BBT is not enabled, the driver falls back to use OOB bad block markers only, as before. If the flash BBT is enabled the kernel will keep track of bad blocks using a BBT, in addition to the OOB markers. As explained by Brian Norris the reasons for using a BBT are: "" The primary reason would be that NAND datasheets specify it these days. A better argument is that nobody guarantees that you can write a bad block marker to a worn out block; you may just get program failures. This has been acknowledged by several developers over the last several years. Additionally, you get a boot-time performance improvement if you only have to read a few pages, instead of a page or two from every block on the flash.
