Hey all,

It's release day and so here's v2022.07-rc1.  There's a lot in here, and
there's a few more things yet to come, hopefully this week, in terms of
pull requests.

In terms of a changelog, 
git log --merges v2022.04..v2022.07-rc1
contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags
will provide better results here.

So we're now looking at regular releases every other Monday, and with
final release on July 4th, 2022.  Thanks all!

I have sent some patches that fixes imx6/8 architecture on bad block
skipping. Right now we have this in uboot

 while (is_badblock(mtd, offs, 1)) {
           page = page + nand_page_per_block;
          /* Check i we've reached the end of flash. */
          if (page >= mtd->size >> chip->page_shift) {
                      free(page_buf);
                      return -ENOMEM;
         }
}

in spl code of nand controller. That code does not work if get one bad block

It's not enough to add offs += mtd->erasesize; because the first erase
block is not considered at all.

And even take a look at the follow up RFC.

I believe no one encounter this case so far.
