Hi All,

For a newly erased page, the content of both user data and oob are 0xff. If 
NAND_ECC_SOFT is enabled, the ecc code in the oob, which is 0xff, is not 
right ecc code. Then if the file system tries to read a newly erased page, 
it will be problem. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks,
Han
