From: "Gupta, Pekon" <pekon at ti.com>

ECC scheme on NAND devices can be implemented in multiple ways.Some using
Software algorithm, while others using in-build Hardware engines.
omap2-nand driver currently supports following flavours of ECC schemes,
selectable via DTB.

+---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+
| ECC scheme				|ECC calculation|Error detection|
+---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+
|OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_DEFAULT		|S/W		|S/W		|
|OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW		|H/W (GPMC)	|S/W		|
|OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW_ROMCODE	|H/W (GPMC)	|S/W		|
+---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+
|(requires CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH)	|		|		|
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW	|H/W (GPMC)	|S/W		|
+---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+
|(requires CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH)	|		|		|
|OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW			|H/W (GPMC)	|H/W (ELM)	|
+---------------------------------------+---------------+---------------+

Selection of some ECC schemes also require enabling following Kconfig options.
This was done to optimize footprint of omap2-nand driver.
-Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH	enables S/W based BCH ECC algorithm
-Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH	enables H/W based BCH ECC algorithm
