Right, CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_SMC is only ever defined and used in driver/mtd/nand/nand_ecc.c, but your patch modifies drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c, i. e. a different file - so this #define will never be seen there. Either the code needs to be permanently changed, then we don't need the #ifdef stuff, or it depends on some conditions, then it's unclear what these might be. In any case a clear description of the problem you are trying to fix is needed, and an explanation how your change is supposed to fix this problem. Please provide a specific test case that can be used to 1) see the problem in the unchanged code and 2) verify that it's working after applying your suggested changes. > of check ECC correctness.

I don;t understand what you mean here.

If you think this file needs to be changed as well, then this change should be part of your patch. Obviously, the reason for the need to change has to be explained here as well. Thanks.
