 * This code implements the ECC algorithm used in SmartMedia.
 *
 * The ECC comprises 22 bits of parity information and is stuffed into 3 bytes.
 * The two unused bit are set to 1.
 * The ECC can correct single bit errors in a 256-byte page of data. Thus, two such ECC
 * blocks are used on a 512-byte NAND page.
