Brian,

I was just reviewing things and realized that I accidentally ignored one of your
comments...

I'm no bch expert myself (ping, Ivan), but I believe this is correct, and it is
consistant with the equations used to determine the 't' parameter (i.e.,
ecc_strength) from nand_bch_init() in drivers/mtd/nand/nand_bch.c.  (BTW,
currently only nandsim uses SOFT_BCH.)  As for coding style... honestly, I
mostly just rely on checkpatch.pl, but I'll check the style guide document.

Thanks,
Mike
