It is 100MHz in SDR mode 0 and 1.

Ok, got it. I will update.

These bufs are freed in nand_release(), which is calling from anfc_remove().

And chip->ecc.code_buf, is used in anfc_read_page_hwecc().
What we are doing here is, extract ECC code from OOB and place it in ecv.code_buf, and passing this info to nand_check_ecc_chunk(buf, chip->ecc.size, &ecc_code[i], eccbytes, NULL, 0,chip->ecc.strength).
i.e. just to store ECC code from OOB area.

And chip->ecc.calc_buf is no where used in the driver, I will remove it.
