Yes, it seems that you changed the order in the calculation function while 
reworking the NDFC driver for arch/powerpc. So we should probably change this 
order back to the original version. And change it in U-Boot as well.

BTW: I didn't see any problems with ECC so far with the current code. Feng, 
how did you spot this problem?

Cheers,
Stefan
