From c45c6c68333c04de84c21a4b869f36a96f642779 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Dooks Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:36:20 +0100 Subject: [MTD] [NAND] S3C2410 Allow unset ecc to be ignored for ecc correction If a block's ecc field is all 0xff, then ignore the ECC correction. This is for systems where some of the blocks, such as the initial cramfs are written without ECC and need to be loaded on start.
