nftl_format and 2 Mb DOC

nftl_format and 2 Mb DOC

[Ciro Cattuto]

Hi,

in the nftl_format sources I read the following:

 ---------------------------------------------------
 if (meminfo.erasesize != 0x2000) {
     printf("Erase size not 8Kb - I'm confused\n");
     close(fd);
     return 1;
     }
 ---------------------------------------------------

...now, 2 Mb DOC have 4k erase size, and I'd like to add support for this.
Is there something I should be aware of before I start hacking to make
nftl_format happy, instead than confused? ;)

The code in nftl_format looks pretty independent of the erase zone size,
so I simply removed the check against 0x2000. It seems to work fine,
except for an error while writing OOB data, which I'm not sure is related
to nftl_format itself.
