The i.MX external NAND boot code relied very much on all block
used for the bootloader are good. It has some bad block checking,
but unfortunately it tested for a bad block in each page of a
block and skipped this page instead of checking for a bad block
at the beginning of a block and skipping the whole block then.
The handling of 2k page NAND flashes has another problem with bad
blocks. We rely on a bad block table since we cannot properly keep
the BBM on flash. This also means that the external NAND boot code
cannot detect bad blocks. This series adds a barebox update handler
to generate a bad block table (well, as long as we consider a 32bit
bitmask a table ;) inside the initial 2k page.
