Do you know what will happen now if someone configures BCH_CONST_PARAMS?
Would this cause problems?

Do you need to to also kill of the Kconfig stuff for BCH_CONST_M and
BCH_CONST_T, which were tied to the MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH4 and
MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH8 configs you just removed?

Are you sure nand_bch_init() is a proper drop-in replacement for the
implementation you had based on init_bch()? It looks to me like they at
least use a differnt polynomial value (0x201b vs. 0). Is this a problem
for backwards compatibility?

Same questions apply.

A related question: do we have any current users of this driver that can
provide testing results for this series? Or is this work just tested
with new hardware?
