mtd: nand: ecc-bch: Move BCH code to the generic NAND layer

2020-11-30T08:27:32Z

BCH ECC code might be later re-used by the SPI NAND layer. Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mtd/20200929230124.31491-3-miquel.raynal@bootlin.com

mtd: nand: Clarify Kconfig entry for software BCH ECC algorithm

2019-04-18T06:54:00Z

There is no point in having two distinct entries, merge them and rename the symbol for more clarity: MTD_NAND_ECC_SW_BCH Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal

mtd: rawnand: Pass a nand_chip object to ecc->correct()

2018-10-03T09:12:25Z

Let's make the raw NAND API consistent by patching all helpers and hooks to take a nand_chip object instead of an mtd_info one. Now is ecc->correct()'s turn. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal

mtd: nand: simplify nand_bch_init() usage

2016-03-08T00:23:09Z

nand_bch_init() requires several arguments which could directly be deduced from the mtd device. Get rid of those useless parameters. nand_bch_init() is also requiring the caller to provide a proper eccbytes value, while this value could be deduced from the ecc.size and ecc.strength value. Fallback to eccbytes calculation when it is set to 0. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: return consistent error codes in ecc.correct() implementations

2016-01-07T02:45:46Z

The error code returned by the ecc.correct() are not consistent over the all implementations. Document the expected behavior in include/linux/mtd/nand.h and fix offending implementations. [Brian: this looks like a bugfix for the ECC reporting in the bf5xx_nand driver, but we haven't seen any testing results for it] Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Tested-by: Franklin S Cooper Jr. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris

mtd: nand: add software BCH ECC support

2011-03-11T17:49:08Z

This patch adds software BCH ECC support to mtd, in order to handle recent NAND device ecc requirements (4 bits or more). It does so by adding a new ecc mode (NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH) for use by board drivers, and a new Kconfig option to enable BCH support. It relies on the generic BCH library introduced in a previous patch. When a board driver uses mode NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, it should also set fields chip->ecc.size and chip->ecc.bytes to select BCH ecc data size and required error correction capability. See nand_bch_init() documentation for details. It has been tested on the following platforms using mtd-utils, UBI and UBIFS: x86 (with nandsim), arm926ejs.
