- nand-ecc-step-size: integer representing the number of data bytes
that are covered by a single ECC step.
+- nand-ecc-maximize: boolean used to specify that you want to maximize ECC
+ strength. The maximum ECC strength is both controller and
+ chip dependent. The controller side has to select the ECC
+ config providing the best strength and taking the OOB area
+ size constraint into account.
+ This is particularly useful when only the in-band area is
+ used by the upper layers, and you want to make your NAND
+ as reliable as possible.

The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
errors per {size} bytes".
