[Yaffs] Can't enable ecc check for yaffs

[Charles Manning]

There have been some improvements in more recent versions of the mtd
that might make things work better.

You can configure YAFFS to use the mtd's ECC or not
(CONFIG_YAFFS_USE_NANDECC).

If you don't use the mtd's ECC, then mtd will give you the warnings you
mention.

Hi, sir
 I cannot enable ecc check in mtd, the message in nand.c, func int
nand_write_page (), printk (KERN_WARNING "Writing data without ECC to
NAND-FLASH is not recommended\n");

In mtd/nand.c,
static int nand_write_page (struct mtd_info *mtd, struct nand_chip
*this, int page, u_char *oob_buf,  struct nand_oobinfo *oobsel) {
	int 	i, status;
	u_char	ecc_code[6], *oob_data;
	int	eccmode =3D oobsel->useecc ? this->eccmode :
NAND_ECC_NONE;
//??????? I have initialize the eccmode to NAND_ECC_HW3_512, ... }

I have enable the ecc check in mizi linux 2.4.18 for ARM2410.

Thank you
