I'll repeat my previous comment on this patch, since it seems entirely
ignored:

<quote>
[this patch] ... does too many unrelated things in a single patch. I am not
comfortable taking large amounts of refactoring mixed in with Kconfig
and #ifdef changes. Can you please separate the steps you list below
into multiple patches and describe each one? I think you are doing many
trivial things, but it's difficult to separate the noise out from the
substantial changes.
</quote>

Considering your frustration, it is certainly in your best interest to
make your patches more easily reviewable and to address my comments when
I make them. I cannot sign off on your patches in the current state, and
you have failed to properly address my comments on the nearly identical
code from weeks ago.

Please, put more effort into splitting your patches into reviewable
chunks and into writing *good* descriptions -- right now, 90% of your
commit message consists of a repeated ECC table, which does not actually
describe your changes. The remaining description is a jumble of multiple
unrelated thoughts, reflecting the similarly confusing patches. A
similar criticism applies to your other patches, whose descriptions do
not adequately reflect their contents.

Why do you even need the #ifdef's for the #include's? It is not harmful
to include headers for stuff that is only conditionally used. In fact,
this creates a problem later when you try to use nand_bch_free(), and
you have to surround it with extra #ifdef's.

In short: these #ifdef's just breed more #ifdef's and cause the code to
become harder to read and less maintainable.

(I commented about the #ifdef's around nand_bch_free() in v6, and you
did not address the comment.)

I recommended (in v6) you split the NAND_BUSWIDTH_AUTO change to a new
patch and to describe it in the commit. You did neither.

I recommended you kill this in v6, and you did not address my comments.
