Someone's being lazy.

The code at nand_read_subpage() (drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c) expects the 
.correct callback to return -1 on an uncorrectable error:

                stat = chip->ecc.correct(mtd, p, &chip->buffers->ecccode[i], &chip->buffers->ecccalc[i]);
                if (stat == -1)
                        mtd->ecc_stats.failed++;
                else
                        mtd->ecc_stats.corrected += stat;

baruch
