A newly erased page contains ff in data as well as spare area. While reading an erased page, the read out ecc from spare area does not match the ecc generated by fsmc ecc hardware accelerator. This is because ecc of data ff ff is not ff ff. This leads to errors when file system erases and reads back the pages to ensure consistency. This patch adds a software workaround to ensure that the ecc check is not performed for erased pages. This problem is solved by checking the number of bits (in 512 byte data + 13 byte ecc) which are 0. If these number of bits are less than 8, the page is considered erased and correction algorithm is not tried on that page Signed-off-by:
