Hi Matti,

There drivers/mtd/nand/omap2.c seems pretty demanding as far as changing chip->ecc.bytes configuration is concerned. That feature seems hard-coded with numeric literal 13 everywhere in that file. So, changing that to 14 does not seem too good idea with my understanding level of that module operation.

I have no clue about 3.8.13 kernel provided along with SDK,
as there is as separate team in TI to support that.
However I know is that beaglebone with NAND cape was not
up on that kernel becoz many of the DT  and GPMC updates
were not present in that kernel version. So even if you take
my patches (of u-boot), I doubt that you would be able to
boot kernel from beaglebone.

If you need support for 3.8.13 kernel, I suggest you refer to
post a query to e2e.ti.com forum. I don't know if you would
be able to get any help in this maillist.

But if you plan to use mainline. These patches work fine.

with regards, pekon
