Firstly, this ecc checking and correction should not be part of bch_read_page().
This should be part of chip->ecc.correct().
But, I don't see your driver using nand_chip->ecc interfaces.
Why do you want to break away from generic driver flow ? any controller limitation ?

I think much of the code in below patch can be reused from nand_base.c
	[RFC 43/47] mtd: nand: stm_nand_bch: read and write functions (BCH)

This is also not correct. Here 'max_zeros' should be ecc.strength
