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.

64          A phandle on the hardware ECC engine if any. There are
65          basically three possibilities:
66          1/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND controller, in this
67          case the phandle should reference the parent node.
68          2/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND part (on-die), in this
69          case the phandle should reference the node itself.
70          3/ The ECC engine is external, in this case the phandle should
71          reference the specific ECC engine node.

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

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