pekon gupta 46840f66ca mtd: nand: omap: add support for BCH16_ECC - NAND driver updates
This patch add support for BCH16_ECC to omap_gpmc driver.

*need to BCH16 ECC scheme*
With newer SLC Flash technologies and MLC NAND, and large densities, pagesizes
Flash devices have become more suspectible to bit-flips. Thus stronger
ECC schemes are required for protecting the data.
But stronger ECC schemes have come with larger-sized ECC syndromes which require
more space in OOB/Spare. This puts constrains like;
(a) BCH16_ECC can correct 16 bit-flips per 512Bytes of data.
(b) BCH16_ECC generates 26-bytes of ECC syndrome / 512B.
Due to (b) this scheme can only be used with NAND devices which have enough
OOB to satisfy following equation:
OOBsize per page >= 26 * (page-size / 512)
