[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: propagate BBT read transport errors

[James Hilliard]

check_create() handles uncorrectable ECC errors by invalidating the
affected BBT copy and handles corrected errors by scheduling a rewrite.
Other read_abs_bbt() failures are ignored, allowing initialization to
succeed with missing entries in the RAM table or to rewrite a table that
was not completely read.

Return non-ECC read errors from both the selected table and the second
unversioned copy before updating versions or writing tables. A transport
failure does not establish that the selected table is corrupt or that an
older mirror contains all of its bad-block information. Preserve the
existing ECC-specific recovery paths.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
