[PATCH 5.10 013/563] mtd: rawnand: davinci: Rewrite function description

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Paul Cercueil <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0697f8441faad552fbeb02d74454b5e7bcc956a2 upstream.

The original comment that describes the function
nand_davinci_read_page_hwecc_oob_first() is very obscure and it is hard
to understand what it is for.

Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v5.2
Fixes: a0ac778eb82c ("mtd: rawnand: ingenic: Add support for the JZ4740")

  * @chip: nand chip info structure

  * @page: page number to read
  *
- * Hardware ECC for large page chips, require OOB to be read first. For this
- * ECC mode, the write_page method is re-used from ECC_HW. These methods
- * read/write ECC from the OOB area, unlike the ECC_HW_SYNDROME support with
- * multiple ECC steps, follows the "infix ECC" scheme and reads/writes ECC from
- * the data area, by overwriting the NAND manufacturer bad block markings.
+ * Hardware ECC for large page chips, which requires the ECC data to be
+ * extracted from the OOB before the actual data is read.
