But I cannot remove #ifdef across some callbacks for cc.hwctl(), ecc.calculate(), ecc.correct(), because then compilation would throw warnings for un-used functions. (2) OMAP driver uses generic lib/bch.c which is compiled only when CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH is enabled. So to avoid compilation issues, I had to put #ifdefs on all wrapper functions which use lib/bch.c or nand_bch.c I myself have tried in previous versions to avoid #ifdefs, but I ended up in one or the other problem like (1) | (2) above. And this is where randconfig test failed earlier when Arnd Bergmann commented, so some #ifdef would hv to be carried till be deprecate some legacy ecc-schemes. However, with patch split many redundant #ifdefs are now removed. > (I commented about the #ifdef's around nand_bch_free() in v6, and you > did not address the comment.) > Done now..
