NAND controller allows for setting a correctable ECC threshold number
of bits beyond which it will actually report the error to the driver.
e.g. for BCH-4 the threshold is 3, so 3-bit and 4-bit errors will
generate correctable ECC interrupt however 1-bit and 2-bit errors will
be corrected silently.
From the above example EDU hardware will not transfer corrected data
to the DMA buffer for 3-bit and 4-bit errors that get reported. So
once we detect
the error duing EDU we read the page again using pio.

I needed the value since dma and edu read has multiple conditions like
oob is not included, buffer is aligned, virtual address is good. This
indicates to
the if (mtd_is_bitflip(err)) block that the error was from an edu
transaction that happened.This way all ecc error handling for dma,
edu, pio is in one place.
Also there is more controller version specific logic for read error
handling in there and this allows us to maintain the hierarchy how we
handle both correctable
and uncorrectable error.

Will fix all the other typos.
