Subject: [PATCH 4.19 02/44] mtd: spinand: Handle the case where PROGRAM LOAD does not reset the cache

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Boris Brezillon <bbrezillon@...nel.org>

commit 13c15e07eedf26092054c8c71f2f47edb8388310 upstream.

Looks like PROGRAM LOAD (AKA write cache) does not necessarily reset
the cache content to 0xFF (depends on vendor implementation), so we
must fill the page cache entirely even if we only want to program the
data portion of the page, otherwise we might corrupt the BBM or user
data previously programmed in OOB area.
