    [MTD] [NAND] nand_ecc.c: fix big endian, strengthen test, add printk
    
    This patch for nand_ecc.c fixes three issues
    
    - fix code so it also works on big endian architectures
    - added a printk in case of an uncorrectable ecc error
    - strengthen the test for correctable errors (decreasing the chance
      that multiple bit faults by accident will be seen as correctable)
    
    Note: the big endian code is only tested in a testbed (running on big endian
    hardware) as I cannot rebuild and test a big endian kernel at the moment.
    However the only thing that can go wrong is if <asm/byteorder.h> does not
    give __BIG_ENDIAN in that case. In my eyes very unlikely.
