[PATCH 1/1] Fix ECC Correction bug for SMC ordering for NDFC driver.

[PATCH 1/1] Fix ECC Correction bug for SMC ordering for NDFC driver.

[Feng Kan]

Fix ECC Correction bug where the byte offset location were double
fliped causing correction routine to toggle the wrong byte location
in the ECC segment. The ndfc_calculate_ecc routine change the order
of getting the ECC code.
        /* The NDFC uses Smart Media (SMC) bytes order */
        ecc_code[0] = p[2];
        ecc_code[1] = p[1];
        ecc_code[2] = p[3];
But in the Correction algorithm when calculating the byte offset
location, the b1 is used as the upper part of the address. Which
again reverse the order making the final byte offset address 
location incorrect.
	byte_addr = (addressbits[b1] << 4) + addressbits[b0];
The order is change to read it in straight and let the correction
function to revert it to SMC order.

Would be great if we could get this fix into 2.6.31.

It looks like another fix for this bug is to leave the current code
alone and turn off CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_SMC.

This could be a better fix if this is the way u-boot currently works.
Has anybody verified if the current u-boot has the ECC problem?

Yes, I have considered that. However, it would make the #define rather confusing
for the rest.

Cheers,
Feng
