mtd_read() may return -EUCLEAN in case of corrected bit-flips.This
particular condition should not be treated like an error.

I'm fine with the patch, Richard, are you okay as well?

Hm yes. I see the bug. I think it broke about 10 years ago
by e47f68587b82 ("mtd: check for max_bitflips in mtd_read_oob()").

In the early day I'd expect someone to hit this bug but I guess
on the last 10 years mtdblock had no real users.

Thanks,

Right.

Well, anyhow I guess this patch deserves a Fixes/Cc: stable # v3.7+

Li, can you please re-send with the proper tags? Thanks.
