Ideally, the block should have 0xff written on the bad block position. Any value
other than 0xff implies a bad block. In practical situations, there can be
bit flips in the oob area as well which means that a block with 0x7f being read
at bad block position may imply a bad block but it is infact only a bit flip in
the bad block byte.
To resolve this problem, the block is marked as good if number of high bits is
greater than or equal to badblockbits (initialized to 7)

ECC can correct up to 8 bits in 512 bytes data + 13 bytes ecc. This means that
the algorithm can correct a max of 8 bits in 4200 bits ie the error indices can
be from 0 to 4199. Of these 0 to 4095 are for data and 4096 to 4199 for ecc.
The driver flips the bit only if the index is <= 4096. This is a bug since the
data bits are only from 0 to 4095.
This patch modifies the check as < 4096

The ECC logic of FSMC works on 512 bytes data + 13 bytes ECC to generate error
indices of up to 8 incorrect bits. The FSMC driver reads 14 instead of 13 oob
bytes to accommodate for 16 bit device as well.
Unfortunately, the internal ecc state machine gets corrupted for 8 bit devices
reading 512 + 14 bytes of data resulting in error indices not getting reported.
Fix this by reading 14 bytes only for 16 bit devices

Flash device drivers initialize 'ecc_strength' in struct mtd_info, which is the
maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one writesize region.
Drivers using the nand interface intitialize 'strength' in struct nand_ecc_ctrl,
which is the maximum number of bit errors that can be corrected in one ecc step.
Nand infrastructure code translates this to 'ecc_strength'.
Also for nand drivers, the nand infrastructure code sets ecc.strength for ecc
modes NAND_ECC_SOFT, NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, and NAND_ECC_NONE. It is set in the
driver for all other modes.

A newly erased page contains ff in data as well as spare area. While reading an
erased page, the read out ecc from spare area does not match the ecc generated
by fsmc ecc hardware accelerator. This is because ecc of data ff ff is not ff
ff. This leads to errors when file system erases and reads back the pages to
ensure consistency.
This patch adds a software workaround to ensure that the ecc check is not
performed for erased pages. This problem is solved by checking the number of
bits (in 512 byte data + 13 byte ecc) which are 0. If these number of bits are
less than 8, the page is considered erased and correction algorithm is not tried
on that page
