💅 ingenic_ecc_correct(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ingenic_ecc_correct — yes that's the whole name, say it with your chest ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ingenic_ecc_correct — detect and correct bit errors 🩹✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ingenic_ecc_correct (struct ingenic_ecc *ecc , struct
       ingenic_ecc_params *params , u8 *buf , u8 *ecc_code );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ecc — the ECC device. your main character 🫶
• params — the ECC parameters. all the little details that matter 💅
• buf — raw data read from the chip.
• ecc_code — ECC read from the chip. matching set, iykyk 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe: you hand it the raw data and the ECC that got read from the NAND device, and it does the whole detective thing — it detects and corrects errors in the data 🔥 literally the glow-up service for your bits.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns the number of bit errors corrected ✨ but note the drama:

• -EBADMSG if there are, and I quote, too many errors to correct 💀
• -ETIMEDOUT if we timed out waiting for the controller 😭
