+/* This is a hack for Rockchip rk30xx based devices. The problem is that
+ * the MEMERASE ioctl is failing (hangs and never returns) in their kernel.
+ * The sources are not fully available, so fixing it in the rk30xxnand_ko driver
+ * is not possible.
+ *
+ * I straced the stock recovery application and it seems to avoid this
+ * particular ioctl, instead it is simply writing zeroes using the write() call.
+ *
+ * This workaround does the same and will replace all MEMERASE occurances in
+ * the recovery code.
