Is setup_data_interface guaranteed to be called after a failed
->exec_op()/{read,write}_page()?

Currently the setting gets written directly to the registers. Only the
enable flag is set in the HW ECC {read,write}_page() functions. So I
will have to store the complete register in the chip structure and write
them on every {read,write}_page()?
