Use the MTD function 'max_bad_blocks' to compute the UBI bad_peb_limit,
if the function is implemented for an MTD and doesn't return an error.

I'm not exactly a UBI expert here, but it seems reasonable that we
should adjust the Kconfig documentation for MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT to further
emphasize that it's a default, if the value can't be determined by other
means.

Are you sure you want to even override the user-provided
max_beb_per1024 value taken from the mtd= line? I'd think if someone
went as far as to specify this in the kernel command line, they don't
expect it to get overridden. Just my two cents.

Zach, Brian,

sorry for the late review.

I agree. With this patch applied the limit can be set via Kconfig, cmdline and automatically.
IMHO the automatic value via mtd_max_bad_blocks and over-writeable via cmdline and Kconfig.
...and this needs to be documented. :-)
I'd go so far and suggest dropping the Kconfig option.

Thanks,

I guess we're assuming 0 is an erroneous value? Otherwise, why would
mtd_can_have_bb() be true?
