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
