The patch titled
mtd-nand: davinci: correct 4-bit error correction
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mtd-nand-davinci-correct-4-bit-error-correction.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: mtd-nand: davinci: correct 4-bit error correction
From: Sudhakar Rajashekhara <sudhakar.raj@ti.com>
On TI's DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138 and DM365, after setting the
4BITECC_ADD_CALC_START bit in the NAND Flash control register to 1 and
before waiting for the NAND Flash status register to be equal to 1, 2 or
3, we have to wait till the ECC HW goes to correction state. Without this
wait, ECC correction calculations will not be proper.
This has been tested on DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138, DM355 and DM365
EVMs.
