[U-Boot] "UnCorrectable RS-ECC Error" occurs when reading NAND flash under u-boot 2009.08 for i.mx25

[dajiang <dajiangzhong@gmail.com>]

Hi, every one. 
This is my first time of posting a message here, firstly , thanks for any
body who builds such a nice platform give help.
In recent two weeks, I added a NAND flash driver support for Micron's
MT29F2G08ABD (SLC;page size: x8 2048+64bytes; Block size: 64 pages; Device
size: 2Gb) memory chip base on u-boot 2009.08 for i.mx25.  Block Erasing and
Page Programming functions worked properly, but when I do page  reading 
operation, "UnCorrectable RS-ECC Error" error message prompted.  I checked
the NFC (NAND Flash Controller) spare area buffer and found that the 4th
512-byte spare area buffer's data were very weird, there is not any ECC code
that should be generated by the FEC but contained the data what I programmed
to the memory. 
In order to easy to do troubleshooting works,  I make a simply testing
process, what I do is, firstly, I only erase page 0 of block 0, and later I
program the erased page with a 2k file which consisted of 2048 same
character 'E', at last I read the page back , but "UnCorrectable RS-ECC
Error" occurs. I pasted the contents of NFC's spare area buffer as
following:

Contents written in red  characters should be ECC code, but changed to what
I programmed to the memory in preverious programming process. 
Any advice, please feel free to tell me. Thanks very much in advance.
