mtd: nand: omap: fix BCHx ecc.correct to return detected bit-flips in erased-page
fixes: commit 62116e5171e00f85a8d53f76e45b84423c89ff34
mtd: nand: omap2: Support for hardware BCH error correction.
In omap_elm_correct_data(), if bitflip_count in an erased-page is within the
correctable limit (< ecc.strength), then it is not indicated back to the caller
ecc->read_page().
This mis-guides upper layers like MTD and UBIFS layer to assume erased-page as
perfectly clean and use it for writing even if actual bitflip_count was
dangerously high (bitflip_count > mtd->bitflip_threshold).
This patch fixes this above issue, by returning 'stats' to caller
ecc->read_page() under all scenarios.
