This is probably different on imx6qp and imx7?!
On the other imx6 processors, setting this will instruct the BCH engine
to allow 'ecc_strength' number of bitflips in an erased area without a
reported ECC error. Unfortunately it does not fix the bitflips.

So what happens on imx6q,dl,s in this case:
1) BCH detects bitflips in the erased page, but ignores them due to the
ERASE_THRESHOLD setting up to 'ecc_strength' bitflips.
2) The gpmi driver does not notice any errors as BCH did not set that
there is any ECC error in the data. So the driver assumes correct data
and does not fix the existing bitflips in the erased page.
3) UBI does not see any ECC errors and does not check the page.
4) UBIFS does check the content of erased pages at some points and
breaks at this point. The filesystem can't be mounted anymore.

This is why I added my patch a software check in case of an
uncorrectable ECC error. The ERASE_THRESHOLD has to be 0 for this to
work.

As this patch only affects imx6qp and imx7, I assume that there is a
better mechanism now.

Markus
