+	  Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
+	  values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
+	  (error correction capability). Those specific values must
+	  be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
+	  and BCH_CONST_T.
+	  Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
+	  improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
+	  usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
+	  When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
+	  only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
+	  for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
+	  parameters.

+	  number of data bits to protect, 'm' should be chosen such
+	  that (k + m*t) <= 2**m - 1.
