Thanks, so these all should be fine with Ivaylo's patch.

Aaro, care to do one more test on n9(50) like Ivaylo posted
earlier:

1. Flash original maemo rootfs

2. Boot mainline kernel with Ivaylo's patch and mount onenand

3. Boot original maemo kernel and check dmesg there's no
   file corruption

Also.. There's a chance somebody has created a onenand file system
with recent mainline kernels that did the reset and disabled ECC.
So with Ivaylo's patch fixing that, those may not mount properly
any longer. Most likely people just keep their maemo rootfs there
though with the MMC being available.

Regards,

Tony
