[PATCH 2/2] mtd: mtd_oobtest: add bitflip_limit parameter

From: Roger Quadros
Date: Tue Oct 21 2014 - 09:54:19 EST


It is common for NAND devices to have bitflip errors.
Add a bitflip_limit parameter to specify how many bitflips per
page we can tolerate without flagging an error.
By default zero bitflips are tolerated.
