Hello Scott,

Thank you for the kind reply. Is it also possible instead of using
read-modify-write which you've suggested, just to call the
nand_write_skip_bad (the patch version) with 0xFFFF...  at the start of
partition, so that nand_write_skip_bad is given aligned offset & unaligned
length? As I undesratnd, an attempt to write "ff" in nand will result in no
change of data.

Best Regards,

Ran
