Dear Peter Tyser,

We already have similar commands for other architectures, see for
example cpu/mpc83xx/ecc.c

I'm not sure if it's possible to use a common implementation, but I
would like to ask you to check if this is possible.

In any case I ask that we use a common user interface for both
implementations. It makes no sense that the same command name behaves
differently on different boards (even from the same vendor).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
