[PATCH v2] mtd: gpmi: add sanity check for the ECC

Mon Jan 28 20:23:38 EST 2013


We do the check based on the following two facts:

[1] The mx23/mx28 can only support 20-bits ECC, while the mx6
    can supports 40-bits ECC.

[2] The mx23/mx28 can only support the GF13, while the mx6
    can supports GF13 and GF14.

v1 --> v2:
     [1] add the Golois Field check.
     [2] change the comments.
