How about calculation the ECC strength dynamically? Peng Fan from
Freescale send a patch doing this in December 2014 which was
already
reviewed by Marek:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/422756/
It is also necessary to change the calculation in mxsboot...
Would be nice if the patch got applied, but I think there were some
comments and the patch was never fixed/reposted. If Heiko wants to
do it, that'd be nice.
Hmm.. I feel, I have not much time left for fixing such things...
I can re-submit the patch from Peng Fan together with my fixes for
mxsboot.
Yes, please (and with a comment for the magic number 13 ;-)
I can test your patches then on an imx6 based board ... maybe we
do not need my patch then!

"I was able to fix mxsboot, but I had difficulties with round_down,
which
is a macro definition in linux/kernel.h. I've copied the macro
definition to mxsboot. I will submit the patch in a seperate mail."
Did you post such a patch? Was this the onyl problem of the patch
from Peng Fan?
No, I didn't. I waited for some comment and then I just forgot about
it. The main problem with the patch from Peng Fan was that it was not
consistent with mxsboot, which still has the hardcoded oobsizes. I
copied the calculation to mxsboot.c, but failed to include
linux/kernel.h, because mxsboot is compiled with the host compiler and
u-boot with the cross-compiler. So I just copied the macro definition
for round_down from kernel.h to mxsboot.c.
"I would like to see a comment or a macro for the magic number 13,
which
is the value for the Galois Field, just for clarification"
I have no idea what 13 means ...
This is cited from the i.MX28 Reference Manual:
BCH-codes are a type of block-code, which implies that all error-
correction is performed over a block of N-symbols. The BCH
operation will be performed over GF (2^13 = 8192), which is the
Galois Field consisting of 8191 one-bit symbols.
Thanks!
bye,
Heiko
