[PATCH v2 1/1] omap3: nand: report corrected ecc errors

[John Ogness]

From: John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The number of corrected ECC errors should be reported since other MTD
systems make use of this information (such as UBI data scrubbing).

Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Patch v2:
o Patch against linux-next-20110225.
o Added comments explaining return codes.
