I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue I was seeing (data_abort, single and dual-bit ecc errors during dram_ecc_scrubbing).

Tested on a board with the Marvell AlleyCat3 switch/SoC.


Cheers,
Joshua Scott

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mvebu: handle unused DRAM banks with ECC enabled

dram_ecc_scrubbing() had code to skip unused DRAM banks but it would not
work because mvebu_sdram_bs() returns 0 and the code was subtracting 1
before checking the size. Remove the -1 from the bank size and the +1
from the total which will skip unused banks and still calculate the
correct size. Put the -1 where it is needed for scrubbing via the xor
engine.
