Sorry that my patch went out twice. I ran into smtp authentication issue with git-send-email. Also, what is the right way to add more comments to a patch? Should I edit the patch generated by git-format-patch or I should just add commit title, blank line and the full commit message when I git commit my change locally.
Anyway, here is the purpose of the patch. Until v1.3.4, "nand write.jffs2" supports non page-aligned data write and pad data automatically to page alignment. As a result, we can use the following scripts to automate downloading a file and writing it to flash. "tftp file.bin" and "nand write.jffs2 add_# off_# $(filesize)" But in the later releases, this feature was no longer supported. So my patch restores this feature to nand write command.
