Ooh, that sbe_ecc_decode() function would give you either the data bit
- if that one is in error - and if not the data bit, then the ECC bit.
Aha.

Ok, so what the driver should do, IMO, is this:

	if (bad_data_bit != -1) {
		...

		fsl_mc_printk("Single-bit data error, ... ", bad_data_bit);
		fsl_mc_printk("Expected Data/Captured Data, ... ", exp_high, exp_low, cap_high, cap_low);
	}

	if (bad_ecc_bit != -1) {
		...

		fsl_mc_printk("Single-bit ECC error, ... ", bad_ecc_bit);
		fsl_mc_printk("Expected ECC/Captured ECC, ... ", exp_syndrome, syndrome);
	}

This way you only print either the data or the ECC value which was in
error but not both.

Makes sense?

Yap, see above.
