Subject: [patch 1/4] mtd-nand: davinci: Correct 4-bit error correction
Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:45:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200911172245.nAHMjk8X001820@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)
From: Sudhakar Rajashekhara <sudhakar.raj@ti.com>
On TI's DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138 and DM365, after setting the
4BITECC_ADD_CALC_START bit in the NAND Flash control register to 1 and
before waiting for the NAND Flash status register to be equal to 1, 2 or
3, we have to wait till the ECC HW goes to correction state. Without this
wait, ECC correction calculations will not be proper.
This has been tested on DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138, DM355 and DM365
EVMs.
