From 67a9ad9b8a6f6ea76ef8fc484ae49970d72d5534 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ezequiel Garcia Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 14:58:06 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: Warn the user if the selected ECC strength is too weak This commit makes use of the chip->ecc_strength_ds and chip->ecc_step_ds which contain the datasheet minimum requested ECC strength to produce a noisy warning if the configured ECC strength is weaker.
