+ * (C)2012 NetCommWireless
+ * Iwo Mergler <Iwo.Mergler@netcommwireless.com.au>
+ *
+ * Test for multi-bit error recovery on a NAND page This mostly tests the
+ * ECC controller / driver.
+ *
+ * There are two test modes:
+ *
+ *	0 - artificially inserting bit errors until the ECC fails
+ *	    This is the default method and fairly quick. It should
+ *	    be independent of the quality of the FLASH.
+ *
+ *	1 - re-writing the same pattern repeatedly until the ECC fails.
+ *	    This method relies on the physics of NAND FLASH to eventually
+ *	    generate '0' bits if '1' has been written sufficient times.
+ *	    Depending on the NAND, the first bit errors will appear after
+ *	    1000 or more writes and then will usually snowball, reaching the
+ *	    limits of the ECC quickly.
+ *
+ *	    The test stops after 10000 cycles, should your FLASH be
+ *	    exceptionally good and not generate bit errors before that. Try
+ *	    a different page in that case.
+ *
+ * Please note that neither of these tests will significantly 'use up' any
+ * FLASH endurance. Only a maximum of two erase operations will be performed.
