Subject: [PATCH 5.11 167/601] mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: fix OOB R/W with Hamming ECC

From: Álvaro Fernández Rojas <noltari@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit f5200c14242fb8fa4a9b93f7fd4064d237e58785 ]

Hamming ECC doesn't cover the OOB data, so reading or writing OOB shall
always be done without ECC enabled.
This is a problem when adding JFFS2 cleanmarkers to erased blocks. If JFFS2
clenmarkers are added to the OOB with ECC enabled, OOB bytes will be changed
from ff ff ff to 00 00 00, reporting incorrect ECC errors.
