Subject: mtd-nand: DaVinci: Add 4-bit ECC support for large page NAND chips
From: Sneha Narnakaje <nsnehaprabha@xxxxxx>

This patch adds 4-bit ECC support for large page NAND chips using the new
ECC mode NAND_ECC_HW_OOB_FIRST.  The platform data from board-dm355-evm
has been adjusted to use this mode.

The patches have been verified on DM355 device with 2K Micron devices
using mtd-tests and JFFS2.  Error correction upto 4-bits has also been
verified using nandwrite/nanddump utilities.
