Yes it is an optimization for erased page bit flip handling.
On erased page, ecc bytes not valid.  So no direct correction machinery
available for bit flips in erased page. Hence I was checking if any bit flips
reported in erased page. If bit flip present in erased page and falls under
correctable level, report the page with 0xff with correctable errors.
