[OE-core] [PATCH v2] image_types.bbclass: allow JFFS2 image with cleanmarkers

[Andrea Adami]

Hi,

I've tested the patch in all possible JFFS2 combinations and there is
still a little bug.
The --pad options must be

--pad=0x0FFFF

- p 0x0FFF

I'll resend a final version splitting the changes for a better review.

Cheers

Andrea
