+ * Author: Ivan Djelic <ivan.djelic@parrot.com>
+ *
+ * Description:
+ *
+ * This library provides runtime configurable encoding/decoding of binary
+ * Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes.
+ *
+ * Call init_bch to get a pointer to a newly allocated bch_control structure for
+ * the given m (Galois field order), t (error correction capability) and
+ * (optional) primitive polynomial parameters.
+ *
+ * Call encode_bch to compute and store ecc parity bytes to a given buffer.
+ * Call decode_bch to detect and locate errors in received data.
+ *
+ * On systems supporting hw BCH features, intermediate results may be provided
+ * to decode_bch in order to skip certain steps. See decode_bch() documentation
+ * for details.
+ *
+ * Option CONFIG_BCH_CONST_PARAMS can be used to force fixed values of
+ * parameters m and t; thus allowing extra compiler optimizations and providing
+ * better (up to 2x) encoding performance. Using this option makes sense when
+ * (m,t) are fixed and known in advance, e.g. when using BCH error correction
+ * on a particular NAND flash device.
+ *
+ * Algorithmic details:
+ *
+ * Encoding is performed by processing 32 input bits in parallel, using 4
+ * remainder lookup tables.
+ *
+ * The final stage of decoding involves the following internal steps:
+ * a. Syndrome computation
+ * b. Error locator polynomial computation using Berlekamp-Massey algorithm
+ * c. Error locator root finding (by far the most expensive step)
+ *
+ * In this implementation, step c is not performed using the usual Chien search.
+ * Instead, an alternative approach described in [1] is used. It consists in
+ * factoring the error locator polynomial using the Berlekamp Trace algorithm
+ * (BTA) down to a certain degree (4), after which ad hoc low-degree polynomial
+ * solving techniques [2] are used. The resulting algorithm, called BTZ, yields
+ * much better performance than Chien search for usual (m,t) values (typically
+ * m >= 13, t < 32, see [1]).
