[PATCH] S3C24XX large page NAND support

Mon Jul 9 19:11:47 EDT 2007
This adds support for using large page NAND devices
with the S3C24XX NAND controllers. This also adds the
file Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/NAND.txt to
describe the differences.
The basic stratergy is to maintain 3 bytes of ECC for
each 256 byte block read from the NAND which is similar
to the default kernel layout (altough we are using the
hardware ECC generator to make our ECC calculations).

+Introduction
+------------
+
+Small Page NAND
+---------------
+
+The driver uses a 512 byte (1 page) ECC code for this setup. The
+ECC code is not directly compatible with the default kernel ECC
+code, so the driver enforces its own OOB layout and ECC parameters
+
+Large Page NAND
+---------------
+
+The driver is capable of handling NAND flash with a 2KiB page
+size, with support for hardware ECC generation and correction.
+
+Unlike the 512byte page mode, the driver generates ECC data for
+each 256 byte block in an 2KiB page. This means that more than
+one error in a page can be rectified. It also means that the
+OOB layout remains the default kernel layout for these flashes.
