Ah, but we asked (and you agreed) to name the option generically since
it's about OOB position rather than ECC size.  And the help should
reflect that it's about changing the OOB position relative to data as
foudn on some davinci platforms rather than just being to enable
support in davinci SoCs.  Other boards might need this :)

Hello Tom,

added Sandeep Paulraj to cc, as he is the ti custodian ...

Where do you read, that I agreed to rename this config option?

I just wrote:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-October/104784.html

"Ok, you are right, there is no documentation of this config option.
Should I add this documentation in this patch or in a seperate patch?"

and Wolfgang Denk said here:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-October/104786.html

"Separate, please.  Thanks."

Maybe I oversee something, but as I see in Code, this feature is
davinci only (as this is a CPU feature) ... Ah, maybe I got it!

I added this option to "drivers/mtd/nand/nand_spl_simple.c" and there
it should get a more common name, right? ...

Ok, so I see the following to do:

rework patch:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-October/104769.html

- rename "CONFIG_SYS_NAND_4BIT_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST" to
  "CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECC_OOBFIRST"?
- add a doc for this new config option
- add this new config option to the enbw_cmc board support

This doc patch:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-October/104907.html

- This can go to mainline, as it just documents the existing
  CONFIG_SYS_NAND_4BIT_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST config option for davinci
  socs.

Ok?

bye,
Heiko

I must have misremembered things, sorry.

Works for me, thanks again.
