It's ok to provide a seed to the mtd_torturetest.

Add a new module parameter 'pattern'. If it is set to zero, we will use the 55/AA pattern to torture the nand blocks; if it is set to a non-zero value, we will use the random data pattern.
Not a big issue in any way, but if you're using a numeric parameter value anyway, could not one use a range of the permissable values to set a seed for the random generation, so that the test can be repeated with the same set of random numbers?
I will add it in next version.
Something like
0 => 55/AA
-1 => random
1 and up => random, specifying seed for random number generator.
