[PATCH v3 08/11] pstore/zone: skip broken zone for MTD device

From: WeiXiong Liao
Date: Wed Mar 25 2020 - 04:55:43 EST


It's one of a series of patches to adapt to MTD device.

It's different with block device, the MTD device will make new broken
blocks (or bad block) while running. It's necessary for pstore/blk to
skip the broken block.

The MTD driver should return -ENOMSG if meets a bad block, which tells
pstore/zone to skip and try next one.
