ARM: OMAP2+: cleaned-up DT support of various ECC schemes
OMAP NAND driver support multiple ECC scheme, which can used in different flavours, depending on in-build Hardware engines present on SoC. This patch updates following in DT bindings related to sectionion of ecc-schemes - ti,elm-id: replaces elm_id (maintains backward compatibility) - ti,nand-ecc-opts: selection of h/w or s/w implementation of an ecc-scheme depends on ti,elm-id. (supported values ham1, bch4, and bch8) - maintain backward compatibility to deprecated DT bindings (sw, hw, hw-romcode) Below table shows different flavours of ecc-schemes supported by OMAP devices +---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+ | ECC scheme |ECC calculation|Error detection| +---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+ |OMAP_ECC_HAM1_CODE_HW |H/W (GPMC) |S/W | +---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+ |OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW |H/W (GPMC) |S/W | |(requires CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH) | | | +---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+ |OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW |H/W (GPMC) |H/W (ELM) | |(requires CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH && | | | | ti,elm-id in DT) | | | +---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+ To optimize footprint of omap2-nand driver, selection of some ECC schemes also require enabling following Kconfigs, in addition to setting appropriate DT bindings - Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH error detection done in software - Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH error detection done by h/w engine Signed-off-by: Pekon Gupta <pekon@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Tested-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>
