[PATCH 5/6] mtd: nand: gpmi: correct bitflip for erased NAND page

[Han Xu]

Hi Andrea,

The threshold gf/2 is referred to Huang Shijie's previous patch for bitflip,

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2014-January/051513.html

To verify the function, I raw write the whole NAND page with 0xFF and several
scattered bits with 0x0 to fake the bitflip, since the real bitflip is
unpredictable and tested the feature with Micron MT29F64G08AFAAA.
