This extra space between the Fixes tag and your SoB should be removed

If I understand correctly, the cleanmarker is in the "available OOB
area", which is somewhere in the OOB area between the bad block marker
and the ECC bytes. I think that checking the data buffer and the ECC
area only is enough and we can probably leave the remaining spare OOB
area.

But instead of calling nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk twice, just call:

    nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk(data, datalen, ecc, ecclen, NULL, 0,
                                strength); 

And also please clarify your commit log: you are not "just checking the
ECC bytes" but you are checking both the main area and the ECC bytes.


Thanks,
Miquèl
