Hi Miquel,

This is a real issue. Can you use the nandflipbits tool from the
mtd-utils package (you should take a recent version of the package) and
try to observe what happens when you insert a 4th bitflip in a section?

I generally believe the tool more than the datasheet :)
Maybe I'm using it incorrectly but I can't get a 4 bit flipped
situation to happen.

I erased the paged so it's all 0xFF:

# flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x8000000 1
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 8000000 -- 100 % complete
# nanddump --bb=dumpbad -s 0x8000000 -l 1 -c -p /dev/mtd0

0x08000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
0x08000010: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
0x08000020: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
0x08000030: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|

0x08000060: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|

Then used nandflipbits to flip a bunch of bits in the first byte and
then a few other bytes:

# nanddump --bb=dumpbad -s 0x8000000 -l 1 -c -p /dev/mtd0
ECC failed: 0

0x08000000: f0 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
0x08000010: eb ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|
0x08000020: ef ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|

0x08000060: ef ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff  |................|

Anyhow,
I think we should probably return -EBADMSG if the 4 bit flips status
appears as nandbiterrs always complains that the data is wrong.

Cheers,

Daniel
