Ideally erase operation should happen before marking block as BAD.
Without that we cannot ensure that the block will be really marked BAD.

Hi,
I found it strange that there's no block erase operation before
calling yaffs_mark_bad.
But in mtd_utils/nandwrite.c, the block is erased before marking bad.

Is it the expected behavior?

Thanks!
