Quick head up. I submitted this patch to the u-boot mailing list on David Brownell's behalf.

Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] NAND: fix "raw" reads with ECC syndrome layouts
From: David Brownell dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net
The syndrome based page read/write routines store ECC, and possibly other "OOB" data, right after each chunk of ECC'd data. With ECC chunk size of 512 bytes and a large page (2KiB) NAND, the layout is:
data-0 OOB-0 data-1 OOB-1 data-2 OOB-2 data-3 OOB-3 OOB-leftover
Where OOBx is (prepad, ECC, postpad). However, the current "raw" routines use a traditional layout -- data OOB, disregarding the prepad and postpad values -- so when they're used with that type of ECC hardware, those calls mix up the data and OOB. Which means, in particular, that bad block tables won't be found on startup, with data corruption and related chaos ensuing.
The current syndrome-based drivers in mainline all seem to use one chunk per page; presumably they haven't noticed such bugs.
Fix this, by adding read/write page_raw_syndrome() routines as siblings of the existing non-raw routines; "raw" just means to bypass the ECC computations, not change data and OOB layout.

Adding this patch to the U-Boot NAND driver to sync up with the kernel NAND driver. There are 2 checkpatch warnings. I will let Scott Wood(u-boot-nand-flash custodian) decide on whether to fix this or not. E-mails exchanged on the u-boot mailing list semed to me that this might not be a big issue especially as we are merely copying from the kernel. drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c | 100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 files changed, 96 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
