    mtd: nand: davinci: correct 4-bit error correction
    
    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.
