Daniel> Or are you purely referring to the comments only? Yes, but the document states (the first line I'm quotinge) 'Layouts for 1-bit ecc'. The other comment was about hw-romcode not being a very good name, as it apparently means the 1bit hamming code and ECC layout used on the older omap3, and not E.G. the bch8/elm layout used by E.G. am335x.

As discussed elsewhere, the elm also changes the ECC layout, so why not just have bchN (software bchN layout) / bchN-elm selections instead of the seperate ti,nand-ecc-use-elm? -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
