Re: [Ltib] patch to mtd-utils to dump ECC layout for a NAND MTD device

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the patch it looks useful.  I added it into
dist/lfs-5.1/mtd-utils/mtd-utils.spec and it builds fine.

Before I upload this to the GPP on your behalf, could you confirm
whether this is something you wrote and is GPL, or if not what the
origin is.

Regards, Stuart
