[PATCH 1/2] MTD: s3c2410_nand: Add option to disable hw ECC at runtime
From: Lars-Peter Clausen
Date: Tue Apr 12 2011 - 15:49:45 EST
From: Holger Freyther <zecke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch adds a flag to the s3c2410_nand platform data, which configures
whether hardware ECC is used.
Currently it is only possible to decide whether hw ECC should be used or not at
compile time through a config option. But if you want to build a kernel which
runs on multiple devices you might have a configuration where some devices
require hw ECC and some devices which want software ECC.
