parse_read_errors can be called with only oob buf also in which

treat this page as completely erased in case of ECC uncorrectable

Why the parse_read_errors() function could not be called without
data_buf when using BCH? Are you sure the situation can only happen
without it?


  host->bch_enabled case is different where controller itself tells
  regarding erased page in status register.

Would the following apply here too, with a:


 erased_chunk_check_and_fixup will be used only for 4 bit RS ECC
 code in which there is no support from HW for erased page detection
 and we need to check few data bytes value.

 Thanks,
 Abhishek
