[Ghorai] 
There is an additional patch I will send (with this series by next week) to select the ECC from board file, such that different board file can select the different ECC method. 

1. This is mainly for OMAP3630 onwards and has been aligned with many customers to use the hw ecc.

2. I did not understand how it's not working, would you please explain again? If you apply the series then it's storing the same ecc value in different location and generated from h/w module. 
File: arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-flash.c 
board_nand_data.ecc_opt         = OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_DIFF_LAYOUT;
change to -
board_nand_data.ecc_opt         = OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW;
- to switch back to s/w generated ECC stores at end of the spare area.

3. This patches are not upstream yet; send me the git-link you referring that these patches are available in 2.6.37?
