Yes, exactly, docg3 maintains that counter for each block.
I thought that upper layers (UBI,...) could use both the erase counter and the
ECC number of flipped bits to select which block to erase next. After a quick

Ah yes, I didn't think about that possibility. It's looks better, I'll submit
another patch with a comment and the #if 0.
Cheers.
