This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dt-bindings: mtd: gpmc: Fix the ECC bytes vs. OOB bytes equation to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dt-bindings-mtd-gpmc-fix-the-ecc-bytes-vs.-oob-bytes.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9d7b89c0089d3673df5228a042b72f13946061f7 Author: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 10 16:39:45 2021 +0200 dt-bindings: mtd: gpmc: Fix the ECC bytes vs. OOB bytes equation [ Upstream commit 778cb8e39f6ec252be50fc3850d66f3dcbd5dd5a ] "PAGESIZE / 512" is the number of ECC chunks. "ECC_BYTES" is the number of bytes needed to store a single ECC code. "2" is the space reserved by the bad block marker. "2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" should of course be lower or equal than the total number of OOB bytes, otherwise it won't fit. Fix the equation by substituting s/>=/<=/. Suggested-by: Ryan J.
