For all of these 'gpmc_bch_resultX' fields, couldn't you make this into
a 2-D array? So to access BCH result 6 at sector i, it would be:

   val = readl(gpmc_regs-gpmc_bch_result[6][i];

This could help you to rewrite some of this stuff as loops, instead of
giant blocks of copy-paste-modify.


Thanks for excepting the series. With this series OMAP NAND driver
comes to a stable point supporting NAND boot on all latest platforms.

I had earlier experimented with something similar to your suggestions
but these clean-ups require update in multiple drivers (GPMC, NAND, ...),
and it was becoming messy, so I dropped it. There are some practical
challenges to this type of clean-up like;

(1) GPMC register addresses here gpmc_regs are initialized in GPMC driver
 So your suggested changes will affect multiple subsystems, hence
This type of clean-up is bit deferred from sometime.


(2) The register space for gpmc_bch_results is not contiguous.
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_0   RW  0x240-0x2B0
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_1   RW  0x244-0x2B4
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_2   RW  0x248-0x2B8
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_3   RW  0x24C-0x2BC
[...]
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_4   RW  0x300-0x370
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_5   RW  0x304-0x374
GPMC_BCH_RESULT_6   RW  0x308-0x378

This is because older version of GPMC hardware IP  (like in OMAP3)
supported only till BCH8 ecc-scheme. Later same hardware IP was
extended to support BCH16. So newer platforms have extended
register-map. So it was felt that instead of having separate for..loops
lets continue with replicating all 7 GPMC_BCH_RESULT registers.


 +ecc_code[0]  = ((val   8)  0xFF);
 +ecc_code[1]  = ((val   0)  0xFF);
 +val = readl(gpmc_regs-gpmc_bch_result5[i]);
 +ecc_code[2]  = ((val  24)  0xFF);
 +ecc_code[3]  = ((val  16)  0xFF);
 +ecc_code[4]  = ((val   8)  0xFF);
 +ecc_code[5]  = ((val   0)  0xFF);

A lot of this code can be rewritten to use the endian swapping macros, I
expect. Something like this looks equivalent:

   *((uint32_t *)ecc_code[2]) = cpu_to_be32(val);

You could probably fix the types up to make this look a little nicer.


(3) BCH4 use different alignment than BCH8 and BCH16 as ECC syndrome
is not bytewise aligned (it's of 6 1/2 bytes = 13 nibbles).  So for BCH4
higher-nibble or reg1 is shifted and ORed with lower-nibble of reg2.
There is no byte-to-byte mapping. So generic implementation becomes messy.

However, Roger Quadros is planning GPMC driver clean-up, so looping him
in-case he can incorporate some of these things while re-factoring GPMC code.
