For UniPhier SoCs, nand-ecc-step-size = <1024>; nand-ecc-strength = <8> or <16> or <24>; But, it is harmless even if we specify nand-ecc-step-size explicitly.

I think there is a common logic in matching request and maximizing. I could not explain well in my words, so I wrote a patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/752107/ Could you check it? -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
