[RESEND PATCH v3 2/5] mtd: nand: return consistent error codes in ecc.correct() implementations

Boris Brezillon boris.brezillon at free-electrons.com
Thu Sep 3 09:03:39 PDT 2015


The error code returned by the ecc.correct() are not consistent over the
all implementations.

Document the expected behavior in include/linux/mtd/nand.h and fix
offending implementations.
