gpmi-nand: Handle ECC Errors in erased pages
ECC is only calculated for written pages. As erased pages are not actively written the ECC is always invalid. For this purpose the Hardware BCH unit is able to check for erased pages and does not raise an ECC error in this case. This behaviour can be influenced using the BCH_MODE register which sets the number of allowed bitflips in an erased page. Unfortunately the unit is not capable of fixing the bitflips in memory. To avoid complete software checks for erased pages, we can simply check buffers with uncorrectable ECC errors because we know that any erased page with errors is uncorrectable by the BCH unit. This patch adds the generic nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk() to gpmi-nand to correct erased pages. To have the valid data in the buffer before using them, this patch moves the read_page_swap_end() call before the ECC status checking for-loop.
