This patch adds new CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME, replacing other distributed
CONFIG_xx used for selecting NAND ecc-schemes.
This patch aims at solving following issues.
1) Currently ecc-scheme is tied to SoC platform, which prevents user to select
other ecc-schemes also supported in hardware. like;
- most of OMAP3 SoC platforms use only 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme, inspite
the fact that they can use higher ecc-schemes like 8-bit ecc-schemes with
software based error detection (OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW).
- most of AM33xx SoC plaforms use 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme for now, but hardware
supports BCH16 ecc-scheme also.
2) Different platforms use different CONFIG_xx to select ecc-schemes, which
adds confusion for user while migrating platforms.
- *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM* which enables ELM hardware engine, selects only
8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with h/w based error-correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW)
whereas ELM hardware engine supports other ecc-schemes also like; BCH4,
and BCH16 (in future).
- *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_BCH8* selects 8-bit BCH ecc-scheme with s/w based error
correction (OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW_DETECTION_SW).
- *CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SOFTECC* selects 1-bit Hamming ecc-scheme using s/w library
Thus adding new *CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ECCSCHEME* de-couples ecc-scheme dependency
on SoC platform and NAND driver. And user can select ecc-scheme independently
foreach board.
However, selection some hardware based ecc-schemes (OMAP_ECC_BCHx_CODE_HW) still
depends on presence of ELM hardware engine on SoC. (Refer doc/README.nand)

platforms
ELM hardware engine which is used for ECC error detection, is present on all
latest OMAP SoC (like OMAP4xxx, OMAP5xxx, DRA7xxx, AM33xx, AM43xx). Thus ELM
driver should be moved to common drivers/mtd/nand/ folder so that all SoC
having on-chip ELM hardware engine can re-use it.
This patch has following changes:
- mv arch/arm/include/asm/arch-am33xx/elm.h arch/arm/include/asm/omap_elm.h
- mv arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/elm.c drivers/mtd/nand/omap_elm.c
- update Makefiles
- update #include <asm/elm.h>
- add CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM to compile driver/mtd/nand/omap_elm.c
and include in all board configs using AM33xx SoC platform.

Conflicts:
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/mxs/Makefile
board/compulab/cm_t35/Makefile
board/corscience/tricorder/Makefile
board/ppcag/bg0900/Makefile
drivers/bootcount/Makefile
include/configs/omap4_common.h
include/configs/pdnb3.h
Makefile conflicts are due to additions/removals of
object files on the ARM branch vs KBuild introduction
on the main branch. Resolution consists in adjusting
the list of object files in the main branch version.
This also applies to two files which are not listed
as conflicting but had to be modified:
board/compulab/common/Makefile
board/udoo/Makefile
include/configs/omap4_common.h conflicts are due to
the OMAP4 conversion to ti_armv7_common.h on the ARM
side, and CONFIG_SYS_HZ removal on the main side.
Resolution is to convert as this icludes removal of
CONFIG_SYS_HZ.
include/configs/pdnb3.h is due to a removal on ARM side.
Trivial resolution is to remove the file.
Note: 'git show' will also list two files just because
they are new:
include/configs/am335x_igep0033.h
include/configs/omap3_igep00x0.h

There seems to be a naming convention for the configuration
files for boards using the same SoC family. This makes
easier to do changes that affect different boards based
on the same SoC.
Since the IGEP COM AQUILA use a TI AM335x processor is better
to rename its board config to use this naming scheme.
