+ * EC and VID headers are OK, but a large chunk of data at the end of PEB is
+ * zeroed. This makes UBI mistakenly treat this PEB as used and associate it
+ * with an LEB, which leads to subsequent failures (e.g., UBIFS fails).
+ *
+ * This function is called before erasing NOR PEBs and it zeroes out EC and VID
+ * magic numbers in order to invalidate them and prevent the failures. Returns
+ * zero in case of success and a negative error code in case of failure.
