Hm, bitflips is what is set in max_bitflips, and apparently the
implementation (which is not yours) is not doing what the core expects.

You should first count bitflips per sector with something like that:

				bitflips[err_sector]++;


And then once you've iterated over all errors do:

	for (i = 0; i < nsectors; i++)
		max_bitflips = max(bitflips[err_sector], max_bitflips);
