scan_ai->fastmap may contain also old fastmap PEBs.
In the area < UBI_FM_MAX_START you can find outdated fastmap PEBs.
e.g. after power-cut.
That's why scan_ai->fastmap is copied into ai->fastmap.
Later in ubi_wl_init() these outdated PEBs will get erased.
So, you cannot remove this code.

But I fully agree with you that the fm->used_blocks > 1 case is not correct.
I fear if scan_ai->fastmap contains old fastmap PEBs and fm->used_blocks is > 1
we need to fall back to scanning mode while attaching.
