[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] make creation of nand bad block table optional

[Harald Welte]

[PATCH] add new NAND_DONT_CRATE_BBT flag

This patch makes creation of the BBT optional.

It adds a new platform-independent NAND-wide flag NAND_DONT_CREATE_BBT

This flag can be used by the board_nand_init function of a board.  It is used
by the soon-to-be-submitted board support code for various openmoko products.
