+          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.
