I have sent some patches that fixes imx6/8 architecture on bad block
skipping. Right now we have this in uboot

 while (is_badblock(mtd, offs, 1)) {
           page = page + nand_page_per_block;
          /* Check i we've reached the end of flash. */
          if (page >= mtd->size >> chip->page_shift) {
                      free(page_buf);
                      return -ENOMEM;
         }
}

in spl code of nand controller. That code does not work if get one bad block

It's not enough to add offs += mtd->erasesize; because the first erase
block is not considered at all.

And even take a look at the follow up RFC.
