The error code returned by the ecc.correct() are not consistent over the
all implementations.

Document the expected behavior in include/linux/mtd/nand.h and fix
offending implementations.

mtd: nand: add software BCH ECC support 2011-03-11T17:49:08+00:00 Ivan Djelic ivan.djelic@parrot.com 2011-03-11T10:05:33+00:00 193bd40026443835e1b96c79d5efe559d01509ae This patch adds software BCH ECC support to mtd, in order to handle recent NAND device ecc requirements (4 bits or more). It does so by adding a new ecc mode (NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH) for use by board drivers, and a new Kconfig option to enable BCH support. It relies on the generic BCH library introduced in a previous patch. When a board driver uses mode NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, it should also set fields chip->ecc.size and chip->ecc.bytes to select BCH ecc data size and required error correction capability. See nand_bch_init() documentation for details. It has been tested on the following platforms using mtd-utils, UBI and UBIFS: x86 (with nandsim), arm926ejs.
