Subject: [PATCH] mtd: eLBC NAND: remove bogus ECC read-back
Date: Tue,  5 Jul 2011 15:59:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309895997-29969-1-git-send-email-mlcreech@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAPBSBxqRywJjCfk_iuDLxn1HbuqPjJRJS=SkRQ3-Ge7SinbSBg@mail.gmail.com>

From: Mike Hench <mhench@elutions.com>

The eLBC NAND driver currently follows up each program/write operation with a
read-back of the page, in order to [ostensibly] fill in ECC data for the
caller. However, the page address used for this read is always -1, so the read
will never work correctly.  Remove this useless (and potentially problematic)
block of code.
