Michał Kępień 7bea605692 mtd: add ECC error accounting for each read request
Extend struct mtd_req_stats with two new fields holding the number of
corrected bitflips and uncorrectable errors detected during a read
operation.  This is a prerequisite for ultimately passing those counters
to user space, where they can be useful to applications for making
better-informed choices about moving data around.

Unlike 'max_bitflips' (which is set - in a common code path - to the
return value of a function called while the MTD device's mutex is held),
these counters have to be maintained in each MTD driver which defines
the '_read_oob' callback because the statistics need to be calculated
while the MTD device's mutex is held.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
