Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hey,
|
| I had a look at using hardware ECC for the s3c244x. I'm in a state that I
| patched uboot to write a ECC for dfu flashed stuff that the kernel
likes to
| read it and is happy.

After a small discussion how to come at it, patches 2, 3 and 5 of this
set went into kernel stable branch: by default hw ECC is disabled
because it conflicts with existing software ECC used in existing
partitions.  But the work here is great and we will definitely end up
using it by default, maybe at the time we transition to 2.6.26 we also
get people to reflash all their partitions.  So thanks a lot for the
work and patches.
