This patch adds 4-bit ECC support for large page NAND chips using the new
ECC mode NAND_ECC_HW_OOB_FIRST.  The platform data from board-dm355-evm
has been adjusted to use this mode.

The patches have been verified on DM355 device with 2K Micron devices
using mtd-tests and JFFS2.  Error correction upto 4-bits has also been
verified using nandwrite/nanddump utilities.

I thought Sneha Narnakaje was going to change offset = 2, length = 22 ?

Troy,

Sorry, may be I didn't understand. I thought the suggestion was to change the offset in nand_bbt.c.

I will resubmit this patch, with the suggested change.

Thanks

Not clear why; this is only for 8-bit NAND, which (right?)
only uses single byte manufacturer badblock markers ...

Will a TI person be updating U-Boot?   Please?  :)
During the U-Boot v2009.10 window, which opens up 
in a couple days...

Dave,

I've already sent the patch to U-Boot and it has been accepted. Its in the nand next branch. For things to become fully functional i'll need a syncs between the various branches of U-Boot. I'll have to enable stuff in the DM355 and Dm365 configs

since you ask about the U-Boot NAND driver, its based on old TI releases. And i'll tell you the reason why i decided that. The current DaVinci NAND driver in the kernel seems to have issues. 4 BIT ECC correction does not take place in DM365. But random delays in the from of printks seem to help. We are debugging and once that is done i can send an updated U-Boot NAND driver based on your NAND kernel driver

Thanks,
Sandeep

Actually at that time it was also in the u-boot-next branch;
and since then (after U-Boot 2009.08 got tagged) it's been
merged into the current U-Boot GIT tree.  :)

I've got a DM355 config patch; why don't I send that along,
after I test with the latest u-boot and some Linux version
which includes the relevant NAND apatches.  It's been
waiting on that merge, which has now happened.

[Sandeep] that's very correct

[Sandeep] No probs. My config update patch(to enable NAND) got accepted but Jean-Christophe forgot to merge it. So I was about to send it again since he insisted that I send again.
