Bit 16 selects the type of ECC error (0=data or 1=directory error).
The lower 8 bits toggles (corrupt) that bit index.
Are you suggesting to remove this debug interface altogether or you
want me to improve the current interface?
Something like providing 2 separate debugfs files for data and
directory errors. And create a separate 8-bit debugfs variable to
select the bit index to toggle.
