From: Daniel Golle <daniel at makrotopia.org>

Reporting an unclean read from SPI-NAND only when the maximum number
of correctable bitflip errors has been hit seems a bit late.
UBI LEB scrubbing, which depends on the lower MTD device reporting
correctable bitflips, then only kicks in when it's almost too late.

Set bitflip_threshold to 75% of the ECC strength, which is also the
default for raw NAND.

This is a port of linux commit
1824520e7477 (mtd: spinand: set bitflip_threshold to 75% of ECC strength)
