    UBI: try to reveal buggy MTD drivers · 276832d8

    When reading data from the flash, corrupt the buffer we are about to
    read to. The idea is to fix the following possible situation:
    
    1. The buffer contains data from previous operation, e.g., read from
       another PEB previously. The data looks like expected, e.g., if we
       just do not read anything and return - the caller would not
       notice this. E.g., if we are reading a VID header, the buffer may
       contain a valid VID header from another PEB.
    2. The driver is buggy and returns use success or -EBADMSG or
       -EUCLEAN, but it does not actually put any data to the buffer.
    
    This may confuse UBI or upper layers - they may think the buffer
    contains valid data while in fact it is just old data.
    
    Thus, try to reveal such buggy MTD drivers with simple debugging
    code which fills the read buffer with 0x12 constant.
