Hi Miquel,

Due to the status being "between 0 and 3 bitflips" I think it'll
basically report 3 most of the time.
As a refresher we seem to have a status for 0 - 3 flips but ok, 4 bit
flips but ok, and >4 flips no go.
In most cases (0 - 3) the driver is reporting 3.

Here's a complete log of erasing the page then flipping all the bits
in the first byte.
