Subject: [PATCH v12 2/5] mtd: nand: vf610_nfc: add hardware BCH-ECC support
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 13:57:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150929205727.GP31505@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1441242397-870-3-git-send-email-stefan@agner.ch>

Pushed this patch to l2-mtd.git, as it looks pretty much good. Although,
I'd like raw read support...

Hmm, can you get this in ecc.read_page_raw()?
