Those patches is based on the l2-mtd.git three.

Changes
since v12,
	fix compile warning.
	fix compile error for sparse compiler:
		drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:480:32: error: bad constant expression [sparse]
		drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:488:35: error: bad constant expression [sparse]
		drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:633:32: error: bad constant expression [sparse]
		drivers/mtd/nand/atmel_nand.c:635:35: error: bad constant expression [sparse]
	   the error is caused by the dynamic 2d array: smu[cap + 2][2 * cap + 1].
           since the smu is allocated when driver is probed, and the length of the smu depend on PMECC correction capablity.
	   so when I declare the type of smu by following line: (cap is declared as const type)
		 int16_t (*smu)[2 * cap + 1];
	   Sparse compiler reports above errors.
	   for fixing this compile error, I use one dimention array instead of 2d array, for instance: all smu[i][j] changes to smu[i * num + j]. num equal to 2 * cap + 1.
	   I tested it in sparse 0.4.4

since v11,
	add documentation for atmel nand reg parameter and one example for PMECC support.
	fix the bug: no error reported when fail to get resoures of PMECC ERRLOC or ROM.
	fix the bug: no correction when ecc data has bit flipped.
	add clearer debug information for data correction.
