Subject: mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=885d71e5838f68d5dbee92ab952cc90ad6c1dc6b;p=linux-beck.git

mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer

The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the
mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf
as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail().

Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the
nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch rearrange the init procedure:
   Set the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to skip the nand scan firstly, and after we
   set the proper settings, we will call the chip->scan_bbt() manually.
