Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 5/7] omap_gpmc: use SOFTECC in SPL if it's enabled

Hi Simon,

Well, yes. On OMAP2+ ECC mode defaults to software (incompatible with HW
mode; 256 vs 512 bytes block size) both in U-Boot and Linux (U-Boot has
command to change it while in Linux you have to recompile the kernel).

So we need software ecc to read images written from Linux.

Regards, Ilya.
