Frankly, there is no EK boards from Atmel use software BCH now, however, 
a lot of customers use NAND with 224 bytes OOB, can not use software 
ECC, they need use software BCH.
So, I think it is better to apply this patch. If it will break the rule 
of u-boot, then I think we can wait real user in u-boot need this and 
then apply this patch.
