nand: atmel: Correct bitflips in erased pages
Not correcting anything in case of empty ECC data area
is not an appropriate strategy, because an uncorrected bit-flip
in an empty sector may cause upper layers (namely UBI) fail to work
properly. Therefore the approach chosen in Linux kernel and other
u-boot mtd drivers has been adopted, where a heuristic implemented
by nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk() is used in order to detect and
correct empty sectors.
Tested with sama5d3_xplained and sam9x60-ek.
