mtd: nand: omap: add support for hardware BCH ecc
Two modes are supported: 4-bit and 8-bit error correction. Note that 4-bit mode is only confirmed to work on OMAP3630 ES 1.x, x >= 1. The OMAP3 GPMC hardware BCH engine computes remainder polynomials, it does not provide automatic error location and correction: this step is implemented using the BCH library. This implementation only protects page data, there is no support for protecting user-defined spare area bytes (this could be added with few modifications); therefore, it cannot be used with YAFFS2 or other similar filesystems that depend on oob storage. Before being stored to nand flash, hardware BCH ecc is adjusted so that an erased page has a valid ecc; thus allowing correction of bitflips in blank pages (also common on 4-bit devices). BCH correction mode is selected at runtime by setting platform data parameter 'ecc_opt' to value OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW or OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW. This code has been tested with mtd test modules, UBI and UBIFS on a BeagleBoard revC3 (OMAP3530 ES3.0 + Micron NAND 256MiB 1,8V 16-bit).
