[PATCH] cmd: mtd: check if a block has to be skipped or erased

As reported by patch [1], the `mtd erase' command should not erase bad blocks. To force bad block erasing you have to use the `mtd erase.dontskipbad' command.
This patch tries to fix the same issue without modifying code taken from the linux kernel, in order to make further upgrades easier.

You should check for bad block here, otherwise bad block not marked in BBT will terminate erasing with CMD_RET_SUCCESS result.
len -= mtd->erasesize; erase_op.addr += mtd->erasesize; }
