Re: [PATCH 0/5] mtd: nand: add support for on-die ECC

Hello,

This patch series adds support for on-die ECC, i.e ECC performed by
the NAND chip itself, as opposed to having the ECC calculated by the
NAND controller or in software.

It is useful in situations where the NAND chip has an ECC requirement
that is not met by the ECC capabilities of the NAND controller.

Patch 1 adjusts the NAND generic DT binding to add "on-die" as an
nand-ecc-mode.

Patch 2 adds the core support for on-die ECC, which is really simple
and minimal: all the work is really done in the vendor-specific NAND
code.

Patch 3 and 4 adds the on-die ECC implementation for Micron NANDs.

Patch 5 allows the FSMC NAND driver to use on-die ECC.

This series was tested on a SPEAr600 platform, with a Micron
MT29F1G08ABADAWP NAND. The mtd_nandbiterrs.ko test is passing
successfully, which shows that the on-die ECC is correcting bitflips
as expected.

This series looks good to me. Great job!
