Subject: [PATCH] EDAC: altera: Add SDRAM ECC check for U-Boot

From: Rabara Niravkumar L <[email protected]>

A bug in legacy U-Boot causes a crash during SDRAM boot if ECC
is not enabled in the bitstream but enabled in the Linux config.

Memory mapped read of the ECC Enabled bit was only enabled
if U-Boot determined ECC was enabled in the bitstream.

The Linux driver checks the ECC enable bit using a memory map
read. In the ECC disabled bitstream case, U-Boot didn't
enable ECC register memory map reads and since they are not
allowed this results in a crash.

This patch always reads the ECC Enable register through a
SMC call which is always allowed and it works with legacy
and current U-Boot.

Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

I've removed it now but pls pay attention for the future.
