You can do that here, but take a look at the discussion Ezequiel and I
had about this:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/67462

We probably don't want to be doing anything drastic like overriding the
device tree configuration. Instead, we might want to stick a warning
into the core nand_base code that does the proper comparison of the
'*_ds' values with the actual values chosen in
chip->ecc->{size,strength}. The comparison is kind of subtle, actually,
so it'd be good to do it exactly once for everyone.
