I feel a little confused with the two hooks.
does the ecc->write_page_raw need to write the ECC parity data?
The page's layout after an ecc->write_page will look like this:
(Block Mark)
| |
| D |
|<---->|
V V
+---+----------+-+----------+-+----------+-+----------+-+
| M | data |E| data |E| data |E| data |E|
+---+----------+-+----------+-+----------+-+----------+-+
What will the page's layout look like after the ecc->write_page_raw?
thanks
