Your patch is correct as far as I can tell based on commits 2ef9f3ddec55, 62116e5171e0
and 8d602cf50d3b.

The idea was to use BCH_WRAPMODE_6 for both reads and writes when we're not using the ELM
module for error correction. i.e. BCH4_SW or BCH8_SW.
This is mentioned in the header of omap_enable_hwecc_bch() but it is not very clear.
So let's fix that as well with this patch.

diff --git a/drivers/mtd/nand/omap2.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/omap2.c
