    sysdev: fix PMECC error when writing to a JFFS2 FS
    
    The HW ECC engine does not generate 0xff ECC bytes for an empty page.
    As a result, a page where 0xff data have been written will be considered as
    erased by the JFFS2 code (which only checks in band data), but the OOB area
    will actually be filled with something else.
    Subsequent write on such pages will most likely trigger ECC errors when
    reading the data back.
    
    Do not pad jffs2 images with 0xff on a block boundary, to prevent such
    errors.
