    Subject[PATCH 3.17 084/146] ARM: mvebu: Netgear RN104: Use Hardware BCH ECC
    Date
    3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Arnaud Ebalard <arno@natisbad.org>

    commit 225b94cdf719d0bc522a354bdafc18e5da5ff83b upstream.

    The bootloader on the Netgear ReadyNAS RN104 uses Hardware BCH
    ECC (strength = 4), while the pxa3xx NAND driver by default uses
    Hamming ECC (strength = 1).

    This patch changes the ECC mode on these machines to match that
    of the bootloader and of the stock firmware. That way, it is
    now possible to update the kernel from userland (e.g. using
    standard tools from mtd-utils package); u-boot will happily
    load and boot it.

    The issue was initially reported and fixed by Ben Pedell for
    RN102. The RN104 shares the same Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR NAND
    flash and setup. This patch is based on Ben's fix for RN102.
