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

+ A phandle on the hardware ECC engine if any. There are

+ case the phandle should reference the parent node.
+ 2/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND part (on-die), in this

+ 3/ The ECC engine is external, in this case the phandle should
+ reference the specific ECC engine node.

+ bytes will be interleaved with regular data in the main area.

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

+ nand-ecc-maximize:
+ $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
+ description:
+ Whether or not the ECC strength should be maximized. The
+ maximum ECC strength is both controller and chip
+ dependent. The ECC engine 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.
