mtd:gpmi patch for Deal with bitflips in erased regions

--> Already tested this patch, seems not work in our device.

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-December/050794.html

 

The BCH block typically used with a i.MX28 and GPMI block is only

able to correct bitflips on data actually streamed through the block.

When erasing a block the data does not stream through the BCH block

and therefore not ECC data is written to the NAND chip. This causes

gpmi_ecc_read_page to return failure as soon as a single non-1-bit is

found in an erased page. Typically causing problems at higher levels

(ubifs corrupted empty space warnings).

 

This patch configures the BCH block to mark a block as 'erased' if

no more than ecc_strength bitflips are found.
