Subject: [PATCH v2] MTD: at91: atmel_nand: return bit flips for the PMECC read_page()
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:50:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354013431-13598-1-git-send-email-josh.wu@atmel.com> (raw)

This patch fix pmecc's read_page() to return maximum number of bitflips, 0 if uncorrectable.

In the commit: 3f91e94f7f511de74c0d2abe08672ccdbdd1961c ("mtd: nand: read_page() returns max_bitflips ()"),
The ecc.read_page() is changed to return the maximum number of bitflips.
And when meet uncorrectable bitflips it needs to return 0.

See the comment in nand.h:
 * @read_page:	function to read a page according to the ECC generator
 *		requirements; returns maximum number of bitflips corrected in
 *		any single ECC step, 0 if bitflips uncorrectable, -EIO hw error

Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com>

change since v1:
  1. add detail commit message for the fix.
  2. return 0 when meet uncorrectable bitflips according to Mike Dunn's suggestion.
