NAME
       decode_rs16 - Decode codeword (16bit data width)

SYNOPSIS
       int decode_rs16(struct rs_control * rs, uint16_t * data, uint16_t * par, int len, uint16_t * s, int no_eras, int * eras_pos,
		       uint16_t invmsk, uint16_t * corr);

ARGUMENTS
       rs
	   the rs control structure

       data
	   data field of a given type

       par
	   received parity data field

       len
	   data length

       s
	   syndrome data field (if NULL, syndrome is calculated)

       no_eras
	   number of erasures

       eras_pos
	   position of erasures, can be NULL

       invmsk
	   invert data mask (will be xored on data, not on parity!)

       corr
	   buffer to store correction bitmask on eras_pos

DESCRIPTION
       Each field in the data array contains up to symbol size bits of valid data. Returns the number of corrected bits or -EBADMSG for
       uncorrectable errors.
