Subject[PATCH 1/3] mtd: nand: add NAND_NEED_SCRAMBLING option flag
Message-ID<qjUm6-4xd-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
Some MLC NANDs are sensible to repeated patterns and require data to be
scrambled in order to limit the number of bitflips.
Add a new flag to let the NAND controller know about this constraint.

Do you mean "sensitive" instead of "sensible"?

Thanks,

Yes (I always mix the too, sensible is the french word for
sensitive ;-)), I'll fix that.

Best Regards,
