I think a problem is the difference of function arguments:

static bool denali_hw_ecc_fixup(struct denali_nand_info *denali,
                                unsigned int *max_bitflips)

     vs

static bool denali_sw_ecc_fixup(struct denali_nand_info *denali, u8 *buf,
                                u32 irq_status, unsigned int *max_bitflips)


I do not want to pass redundant arguments,
which are used for one, but not used for the other.


We do not need to think about the situation that may not happen.
If happens, we can refactor the code any time.
