Check for erased page bitflips in a page. And if well within
threshold return data as all 0xff. Apply sw check for controller
version < 7.2. Controller vesion >= 7.2 has hw support.

V3 changes
 Return the max bitflips from a sector within a page
V2 changes 
 Added use of nand_check_erased_ecc_chunk
 Restrict change to older controller < 7.2
