Hello

This is a very tricky place to figure out how to do the best thing. Clearly
it would be a bad idea to abort the whole scan if there is one bad page
read.

There are some checks in that the ecc result is checked.

        } else if (tags.ecc_result ==
                YAFFS_ECC_RESULT_UNFIXED) {
                yaffs_trace(YAFFS_TRACE_SCAN,
                        " Unfixed ECC in chunk(%d:%d), chunk ignored",
                        blk, chunk_in_block);
                        dev->n_free_chunks++;

If the ECC result is Ok, then it is reasonable to expect the whole chunk
read to be Ok.
