In omap nand driver we used to do 32-bit reads (in function
omap_read_buf_pref, using 'ioread32_rep' i.e.: __raw_readsl), and it
was working fine till some time back. But now, somehow, this has got
some problem. Reads are not being done successfully, and driver gives
lots for error reprot like below:

td->read(0x604 bytes from 0x1fc) returned ECC error
uncorrectable error :
uncorrectable error :
uncorrectable error :
uncorrectable error :
uncorrectable error :
uncorrectable error :
mtd->read(0x520 bytes from 0x2e0) returned ECC error

While if we change 32-bit reads to 16-bit reads (using 'ioread16_rep'
i.e.: __raw_readwl) makes it working fine. (A patch to do this is
listed below at the bottom of this mail.)

I have not seen any change in routine '__raw_readsl'.
So, could someone help me find out the root cause the issue?

Thanks for any input.

Maybe an issue with the GPMC timings?

I can confirm that this issue exists on Overo too.  Sadly, switching
to 16 bit reads does not fix the issue for me.  I'll start digging to
see if I can find what's broken.

I can also confirm that there are days when I am not even capable of
applying a patch properly :-(

Switching to 16 bit read accesses does indeed fix the ECC issue on Overo too.

Which still leaves us needing to find the root cause of the breakage . . .
