    mtd: gpmi: fix ECC regression · 031e2777
    David Woodhouse authored
    The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
    computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.
    
    Commit 2febcdf8
    
     ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
    makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
    provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
    for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:
    
       We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.
    
    This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.
    
    We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
    the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
    release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.
    
    This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
    this point in the cycle I really don't care.
