    mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer · dba6d8ec
    Huang Shijie authored
    commit 885d71e5 upstream.
    
    The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the
    mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf
    as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail().
    
    Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the
    nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug:

    This patch rearrange the init procedure:
       Set the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to skip the nand scan firstly, and after we
       set the proper settings, we will call the chip->scan_bbt() manually.
