    mtd: driver _read() returns max_bitflips; mtd_read() returns -EUCLEAN
    
    The drivers' _read() method, absent an error, returns a non-negative integer
    indicating the maximum number of bit errors that were corrected in any one
    region comprising an ecc step.  MTD returns -EUCLEAN if this is >=
    bitflip_threshold, 0 otherwise.  If bitflip_threshold is zero, the comparison is
    not made since these devices lack ECC and always return zero in the non-error
    case (thanks Brian)¹.  Note that this is a subtle change to the driver
    interface.
    
    This and the preceding patches in this set were tested with ubi on top of the
    nandsim and docg4 devices, running the ubi test io_basic from mtd-utils.
