Subject: [PATCH 5.15 018/846] mtd: rawnand: davinci: Rewrite function description

From: Paul Cercueil <paul@...pouillou.net>

commit 0697f8441faad552fbeb02d74454b5e7bcc956a2 upstream.

The original comment that describes the function
nand_davinci_read_page_hwecc_oob_first() is very obscure and it is hard
to understand what it is for.

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