[MTD] [NAND] Hardware ECC controller on at91sam9263 / at91sam9260
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is a patch to use the hardware ECC controller of
the AT91SAM9260 and AT91SAM9263 for the AT91 nand.
On AT91 NAND, there's now a choice between ECC soft,
ECC hard or no ECC (for debug).

It has been tested on AT91SAM9263 with 8 bits large
and small page NAND.

help
Uses hardware ECC provided by the at91sam9260/at91sam9263 chip
instead of software ECC.
The hardware ECC controller is capable of single bit error
correction and 2-bit random detection per page.

NB : hardware and software ECC schemes are incompatible.
If you switch from one to another, you'll have to erase your
mtd partition.

If unsure, say Y

No ECC will be used.
It's not a good idea and it should be reserved for testing
