ARM: OMAP3: gpmc: add BCH ecc api and modes
This patch adds a simple BCH ecc computation api, similar to the existing Hamming ecc api. It is intended to be used by the MTD layer. It implements the following features: - support 4-bit and 8-bit ecc computation - do not protect user bytes in spare area, only data area is protected - ecc for an erased NAND page (0xFFs) is also a sequence of 0xFFs This last feature is obtained by adding a constant polynomial to the hardware computed ecc. It allows to correct bitflips in blank pages and is extremely useful to support filesystems such as UBIFS, which expect erased pages to contain only 0xFFs. This api has been tested on an OMAP3630 board. Artem: The OMAP maintainer Tony Lindgren gave us his blessing for merging this patch via the MTD tree.
