The access to the BCH/ELM engine is still not serialized for ecc->read_subpage and ecc->write_subpage() in case of
OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW
OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW
OMAP_ECC_BCH16_CODE_HW

What about serializing access to BCH engine for read/write_page() and read/write_subpage() in case of
OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW
OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW

and finally we should also serialize access to ECC engine for read/write_page() and read/write_subpage() in case of
OMAP_ECC_HAM1_CODE_HW

cheers,
