I'm not sure we want to have ECC error messages at this level. ECC errors are rather unusual but not impossible, and sometimes it's even not a real error (I'm thinking of bitflips in erased pages for example, which are not necessarily detected/fixed in hardware). If we decide to print error messages when unfixable bitflips are detected, it should be done in the nand-controller driver (somewhere along those lines [1]).
