IMO, patch 9 to 12 should be squashed in a single patch. All you're
doing in these patch is fixing the check_erased_page logic.

You can describe the different broken thing in the commit message, but
splitting things as you do does not help much.

Also, please have at nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk() [1] instead of using
a private method (is_erased()) to check if the page is erased.
With this method you get bitflips in erased pages correction for free.
