[PATCH v5 1/4] mtd: rawnand: nand_bbt: hide suspend/resume hooks while scanning bbt

From: Sean Nyekjaer
Date: Tue Nov 02 2021 - 07:02:31 EST


From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The BBT scan logic use the MTD helpers before the MTD layer had a
chance to initialize the device, and that leads to issues when
accessing the uninitialized suspend lock. Let's temporarily set the
suspend/resume hooks to NULL to skip the lock acquire/release step.
