Please convert your driver even if you don't need the extra

+Platform specific options
+=========================
+ CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_GPMC
+ Enables omap_gpmc.c driver for OMAPx and AMxxxx platforms.
+ GPMC controller is used for parallel NAND flash devices, and can
+ do ECC calculation (not ECC error detection) for HAM1, BCH4, BCH8
+ and BCH16 ECC algorithms.
+
+ CONFIG_NAND_OMAP_ELM
+ Enables omap_elm.c driver for OMAPx and AMxxxx platforms.
+ ELM controller is used for ECC error detection (not ECC calculation)
+ of BCH4, BCH8 and BCH16 ECC algorithms.
+ Some legacy platforms like OMAP3xx do not have in-built ELM h/w engine,
+ thus such SoC platforms need to depend on software library for ECC error
+ detection. However ECC calculation on such plaforms would still be
+ done by GPMC controller.
