I personally don't mind if nand_maximize_ecc() is called twice in
the function if it clarifies the logic. Maybe the following will be
more clear for the user?
if (chip->ecc.size && chip->ecc.strength)
return nand_check_ecc_caps(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (chip->ecc.options & NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE)
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (!nand_match_ecc_req(chip, caps, oobavail))
return 0;
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
Also, I'm not sure we should just error out when nand_check_ecc_caps()
fails. What about something more robust, like:
int ret;
if (chip->ecc.size && chip->ecc.strength) {
ret = nand_check_ecc_caps(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (ret)
goto maximize_ecc;
return 0;
}
if (chip->ecc.options & NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE)
goto maximize_ecc;
ret = nand_match_ecc_req(chip, caps, oobavail);
if (ret)
goto maximize_ecc;
return 0;
maximize_ecc:
return nand_maximize_ecc(chip, caps, oobavail);
