To clarify, UBI does already bitflip detection and then
"tortures" a block to figure whether it is good or not.
But only upon read. So, if you very seldom read from a
page read disturb may hit you.
This is why I did the ubi-healthd, it allows you to trigger
read of all data (UBI meta and payload) to detect read disturb
soonish.
