On TI's DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138 and DM365, after setting the 4BITECC_ADD_CALC_START bit in the NAND Flash control register to 1 and before waiting for the NAND Flash status register to be equal to 1, 2 or 3, we have to wait till the ECC HW goes to correction state. Without this wait, ECC correction calculations will not be proper.
This has been tested on DA830/OMAP-L137, DA850/OMAP-L138, DM355 and DM365 EVMs. Signed-off-by: Sudhakar Rajashekhara <sudhakar....@ti.com> Acked-by: Sneha Narnakaje <nsnehapra...@ti.com> Cc: David Woodhouse <dw...@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> --- Since v2, removed spilocks as that would cause jiffies not to increment. drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c index 9c9d893..574c38a 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c @@ -311,7 +311,9 @@ static int nand_davinci_correct_4bit(struct mtd_info *mtd, unsigned short ecc10[8]; unsigned short *ecc16; u32 syndrome[4]; + u32 ecc_state; unsigned num_errors, corrected; + unsigned long timeo; /* All bytes 0xff?
