Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: gpmc: Fix the ECC bytes vs. OOB bytes equation
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2021 09:14:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210911131429.286330-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>
[ 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/>=/<=/.

so the device should have enough free bytes available its OOB/Spare
area to accommodate ECC for entire page. In general following expression
helps in determining if given device can accommodate ECC syndrome:
- "2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" >= OOBSIZE"
+ "2 + (PAGESIZE / 512) * ECC_BYTES" <= OOBSIZE"
where
OOBSIZE number of bytes in OOB/spare area
PAGESIZE number of bytes in main-area of device page
