This patch adds support for BCH8 error correction code to omap_gpmc driver. We use GPMC to generate codes/syndromes but we need ELM to find error locations from given syndrome.

first of all, I wonder why this is so different than the kernel implementation for BCH. I mean the API (and content) of this and commit 8d602cf50d3bba864bc1438f486b626df69c87b3 mainline linux seems to differ. The main question coming to mind is: Is the resulting OOB layout compatible then?
