  * 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.
