Did you look at Mike Dunn's bitflip_threshold stuff? It is in my
l2-mtd.git tree. Look at this patch and the next ones from Mike:

http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/l2-mtd.git/commit/be1bb4ef1f98059f9d54623f3ed01423095fa967

Commit messages contain descriptions and references. May be for your
flash you need to set higher threshold?
