    mtd: sh_flctl: Restructure the hardware ECC handling
    
    There are multiple reasons for a rewrite:
     - a race exists: when _4ECCEND is set, _4ECCFA may become true too
       meanwhile, which is lost and a non-correctable error is treated as
       correctable.
     - the ECC statistics don't get properly propagated to the base code.
     - empty pages would get marked as corrupted
    
    The rewrite resolves the issues and I hope it gives a more explicit
    code flow structure.
