13description: |
14  The NAND controller should be represented with its own DT node, and
15  all NAND chips attached to this controller should be defined as
16  children nodes of the NAND controller. This representation should be
17  enforced even for simple controllers supporting only one chip.
18
19  The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the user
20  desires in terms of correction capability of a controller. Together,
21  they request the ECC engine to correct {strength} bit errors per
22  {size} bytes.
23
24  The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so
25  not all implementations must support all possible
26  combinations. However, implementations are encouraged to further
27  specify the value(s) they support.

62          A phandle on the hardware ECC engine if any. There are
63          basically three possibilities:
64          1/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND controller, in this
65          case the phandle should reference the parent node.
66          2/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND part (on-die), in this
67          case the phandle should reference the node itself.
68          3/ The ECC engine is external, in this case the phandle should
69          reference the specific ECC engine node.

105          With this property, the OS will search the device for a Bad
106          Block Table (BBT). If not found, it will create one, reserve
107          a few blocks at the end of the device to store it and update
108          it as the device ages. Otherwise, the out-of-band area of a
109          few pages of all the blocks will be scanned at boot time to
110          find Bad Block Markers (BBM). These markers will help to
111          build a volatile BBT in RAM.

127        description:
128          Whether or not the ECC strength should be maximized. The
129          maximum ECC strength is both controller and chip
130          dependent. The ECC engine has to select the ECC config
131          providing the best strength and taking the OOB area size
132          constraint into account. This is particularly useful when
133          only the in-band area is used by the upper layers, and you
134          want to make your NAND as reliable as possible.
