IFC NAND Machine calculates ECC on 512byte sector. Same is taken care in
fsl_ifc_run_command() while ECC status verification. Here buffer number is
calculated assuming 512byte sector and same is passed to is_blank.
However in is_blank() buffer address is calculated using mdt->writesize which is
wrong. It should be calculated on basis of ecc sector size.

Also, in fsl_ifc_run_command() bufferpage is calculated on the basis of ecc sector
size instead of hard coded value.

This function should only be checking one ECC block, not the entire
page.  The caller is responsible for passing in the appropriate buffer
numbers.

I think what the current code needs is for (mtd->writesize * 2) to be
replaced with chip->ecc.size, and for the calling code to multiply the
starting bufnum by two.

Currently this driver always sets chip->ecc.size to 512.  If we want to
support other ECC block sizes that future versions of IFC may have, can
we calculate bufperpage during chip init (similar to bufnum_mask) to
avoid the runtime division?  It's probably not huge overhead compared to
everything else we do per NAND page transfer, but still...
