[PATCH 9/9] mtd: nand: qcom: erased page bitflips detection

Some of the newer nand parts can have bit flips in an erased
page due to the process technology used. In this case, qpic
nand controller is not able to identify that page as an erased
page. Currently the driver calls nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk for
identifying the erased pages but this won’t work always since the
checking is being with ECC engine returned data. In case of
bitflips, the ECC engine tries to correct the data and then it
generates the uncorrectable error. Now, this data is not equal to
original raw data. For erased CW identification, the raw data
should be read again from NAND device and this
nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk function should be called for raw
data only.
Now following logic is being added to identify the erased
codeword bitflips.
1. In most of the case, not all the codewords will have bitflips
and only single CW will have bitflips. So, there is no need to
read the complete raw page data. The NAND raw read can be
scheduled for any CW in page. The NAND controller works on CW
basis and it will update the status register after each CW read.
Maintain the bitmask for the CW which generated the uncorrectable
error.
2. Schedule the raw flash read from NAND flash device to
NAND controller buffer for all these CWs between first and last
uncorrectable errors CWs. Copy the content from NAND controller
buffer to actual data buffer only for the uncorrectable errors
CWs so that other CW data content won’t be affected, and
unnecessary data copy can be avoided.
3. Both DATA and OOB need to be checked for number of 0. The
top-level API can be called with only data buf or oob buf so use
chip->databuf if data buf is null and chip->oob_poi if
oob buf is null for copying the raw bytes temporarily.
4. For each CW, check the number of 0 in cw_data and usable
oob bytes, The bbm and spare bytes bit flip won’t affect the ECC
so don’t check the number of bitflips in this area.
