specific NAND region is erased or not.

+ * @ecclen: ECC length
+ * @extraoob: extra OOB buffer

+ * Check if a data buffer and its associated ECC and OOB data contains only
+ * 0xff pattern, which means the underlying region has been erased and is
+ * ready to be programmed.
+ * The bitflips_threshold specify the maximum number of bitflips before
+ * considering the region as not erased.
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * 1/ ECC algorithms are working on pre-defined block sizes which are usually
+ *    different from the NAND page size. When fixing bitflips, ECC engines will
+ *    report the number of errors per chunk, and the NAND core infrastructure
+ *    expect you to return the maximum number of bitflips for the whole page.
+ *    This is why you should always use this function on a single chunk and
+ *    not on the whole page. After checking each chunk you should update your
+ *    max_bitflips value accordingly.
+ * 2/ When checking for bitflips in erased pages you should not only check
+ *    the payload data but also their associated ECC data, because a user might
+ *    have programmed almost all bits to 1 but a few. In this case, we
+ *    shouldn't consider the chunk as erased, and checking ECC bytes prevent
+ *    this case.
+ * 3/ The extraoob argument is optional, and should be used if some of your OOB
+ *    data are protected by the ECC engine.
+ *    It could also be used if you support subpages and want to attach some
+ *    extra OOB data to an ECC chunk.
+ *
+ * Returns a positive number of bitflips less than or equal to
+ * bitflips_threshold, or -ERROR_CODE for bitflips in excess of the
+ * threshold. In case of success, the passed buffers are filled with 0xff.
