[PATCH v2 3/3] Add 4-bit ECC support for large page NAND chips on Davinci

From: Sandeep Paulraj <s-paulraj at ti.com>

The patch applies to linux-mtd GIT tree

This patch adds 4-bit ECC support for large page NAND chips using the new ECC
mode NAND_ECC_HW_OOB_FIRST. The platform data from board-dm355-evm has been
adjusted to use this mode.

The patches have been verified on DM355 device with 2K and 4K page size 
Micron devices using mtd-tests.
Error correction upto 4-bits has also been verified using
nandwrite/nanddump utilities.
