Subject: UBI: account for bitflips in both the VID header and data
From: Brian Norris <[email protected]>
commit 8eef7d70f7c6772c3490f410ee2bceab3b543fa1 upstream.
We are completely discarding the earlier value of 'bitflips', which could reflect a bitflip found in ubi_io_read_vid_hdr(). Let's use the bitwise OR of header and data 'bitflip' statuses instead.
