Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] mtd: rawnand/davinci: Don't calculate ECC when reading page

The function nand_davinci_read_page_hwecc_oob_first() does read the ECC
data from the OOB area. Therefore it does not need to calculate the ECC
as it is already available.

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # v5.2
Fixes: a0ac778eb82c ("mtd: rawnand: ingenic: Add support for the JZ4740")
