Re: [PATCH] [MTD] MXC NAND driver fixes (v3)

Hello Holger,

Could you explain how this message is related to this thread?
This patch as well as linux-mtd mail list doesn't care about platform 
specific code that you can do in your custom mx21 based board.

Great, so the current mxc_nand driver can support your imx21 cpu through 
platform data.

Regarding to me then I use mx27 cpu and it's errata taken from FSL site 
says nothing about HW ECC:
http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/MCIMX27CE.pdf?fsrch=1
nor in addendum:
http://www.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/ref_manual/MCIMX27RMAD.pdf?fsrch=1

I can successfully flash jffs2 image to NAND flash, mount and read the 
context.
Ditto I can do with ubifs. All this with hw_ecc = 1.

Vladimir
