mtd: nand: omap: enable BCH ECC scheme using ELM for generic platform
BCH8_ECC scheme implemented in omap_gpmc.c driver has following favours
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|ECC Scheme | ECC Calculation | Error Detection |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW |GPMC |ELM H/W engine |
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW |GPMC |S/W BCH library |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------+-----------------+
Current implementation limits the BCH8_CODE_HW only for AM33xx device family.
(using CONFIG_AM33XX). However, other SoC families (like TI81xx) also have
ELM hardware module, and can support ECC error detection using ELM.
This patch
- removes CONFIG_AM33xx
Thus this driver can be reused by all devices having ELM h/w engine.
- adds omap_select_ecc_scheme()
A common function to handle ecc-scheme related configurations. This
can be used both during device-probe and via user-space u-boot commads
to change ecc-scheme. During device probe ecc-scheme is selected based
on CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM or CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8
- enables CONFIG_BCH
S/W library (lib/bch.c) required by OMAP_ECC_BCHx_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW
is enabled by CONFIG_BCH.
- enables CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ONFI_DETECTION
for auto-detection of ONFI compliant NAND devices
- updates following README doc
