|     mtd: omap gpmc: fix ecc bytes/size
|
|     The ecc bytes / size are per subpage, not per page.

The ecc code in omap_correct_data() expects to correct a whole page
at once, so we must tell the nand layer that we have 4 * 13 bytes of
ecc bytes and 4 * 512 bytes of ecc size. Otherwise the NAND layer will
iterate over 512 byte steps over a page and call the .correct callback
each time.

This only works for 2k pagesize and needs revisit once other page sizes
shall be supported. It would be better to tell the nand layer the real
ecc bytes (13) and ecc size (512) instead and drop the iteration in
omap_correct_bch(). However, this needs better testing so it isn't done
here now.
