Hi,
offset 0 and 1 in a x16 large page micron device is reserved for badblock marker - u-boot is checking the correct location and if those locations dont have 0xff, it is noted as bad blocks - This is no issue with u-boot as far as I can see but on the other hand the clean markers are also supposed to be in the same location.
I am not clear on the other part of the answer. Do you mean to say I need to fix the kernel code for cleanmarker issue ? Is it like I can give an offset for the Cleanmarker to be written ?
regards Mani

The cleanmarkers are being written in location 0x0 and 0x1 of the OOB space And they are the problem since when u-boot comes up it does a scan and

That since these OOB locations do not contain 0xff, the blocks are bad.
offset 0 and 1 in a x16 large page micron device is reserved for badblock marker - u-boot is checking the correct location and if those locations dont have 0xff, it is noted as bad blocks. if cleanmarker is being written there, you'd need to fix the kernel board file etc.. Regards, Nishanth Menon
