mtd: bitflip_threshold added to mtd_info and sysfs
An element 'bitflip_threshold' is added to struct mtd_info, and also exposed as a read/write variable in sysfs. This will be used to determine whether or not mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN or 0 (absent a hard error). If the driver leaves it as zero, mtd will set it to a default value of ecc_strength. This v2 adds the line that propagates bitflip_threshold from the master to the partitions - thanks Ivan¹. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-April/040900.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
