commit e9893e6fa932f42c90c4ac5849fa9aa0f0f00a34 upstream.
Positive return value from read_oob() is making false BAD blocks. For some of the NAND controllers, OOB bytes will be protected with ECC and read_oob() will return number of bitflips. If there is any bitflip in ECC protected OOB bytes for BAD block status page, then that block is getting treated as BAD.
