Mhhh i changed this to page_offset since the struct is called
boot_partition and it can be confusing since internally the values is in
pages. Someone can think that the real partition offset/size is used
instead of the value converted in pages.

Again considering the check is done on the page and not on the
partition, wonder what is correct.

I probably worderd this bad...
Each page of the boot partitions require the codeword fix.
But other may have the normal codeword
For example this is from a Netgear router:
mtd0: 00c80000 00020000 "qcadata" (require codeword fix)
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "APPSBL" (require codeword fix)
mtd2: 00080000 00020000 "APPSBLENV" (doesn't require codeword fix)
mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "art" (doesn't)
mtd4: 00140000 00020000 "artbak" (doesn't)
mtd5: 00400000 00020000 "kernel" (doesn't)
mtd6: 06080000 00020000 "ubi" (doesn't)
mtd7: 00700000 00020000 "reserve" (doesn't)

This is part of the case tho as there are some partition table with
something like

mtd0: 00c80000 00020000 "qcadata" (require codeword fix)
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "APPSBL" (require codeword fix)
mtd2: 00080000 00020000 "APPSBLENV" (doesn't require codeword fix)
mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "APPSBL2" (require codeword fix)
[...]

In all case 99% of the time in a normal system what you commonly write
are the rootfs partition that are AFTER the boot partition so checking
if the page is after such partition should speed up the check.
Now that I think about it, a good idea is also start checking the
boot_partition table from the end to improve the checking even more.

So tell me if the comments is wronlgy worded.

ok. I wonder if this can just be reduced to (host->cw_data - 1) and
skipping the check entirely.
