Hm.. when was this proposal agreed? It seems I've missed the
discussion...

FWIW, we've already proposed an equivalent one, but it received no
feedback from the devicetree maintainers:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/58764

Maybe we can discuss about it now?

  nand-ecc-strength : integer ECC required strength.
  nand-ecc-size : integer step size associated to the ECC strength.

  vs.

  nand-ecc-level : Two cells property defining the ECC level requirements.
  The first cell represent the strength and the second cell the ECC block size.
  E.g. : nand-ecc-level = <4 512>; /* 4 bits / 512 bytes */

It's really the same proposal but with a different format, right?
IMHO, the former is more human-readable, but other than that I see no
difference.

Brian? DT-guys?
