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.
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
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.

54 Desired ECC engine, either hardware (most of the time
55 embedded in the NAND controller) or software correction
56 (Linux will handle the calculations). soft_bch is deprecated
57 and should be replaced by soft and nand-ecc-algo.

62 - enum: [ hamming, bch, rs ]
64 Desired ECC algorithm.

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

90 Maximum number of bits that can be corrected per ECC step.

102 Whether or not the ECC strength should be maximized. The
103 maximum ECC strength is both controller and chip
104 dependent. The ECC engine has to select the ECC config
105 providing the best strength and taking the OOB area size
106 constraint into account. This is particularly useful when
107 only the in-band area is used by the upper layers, and you
108 want to make your NAND as reliable as possible.
111 $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/flag
113 Whether or not the NAND chip is a boot medium. Drivers might
114 use this information to select ECC algorithms supported by
115 the boot ROM or similar restrictions.
