Yes, indeed, the mt29f2g08's minimum ecc is 4-bit, you can use 8-bits ecc.
but there is a dependency between new kernel gpmi-nand with the old
mfg-kernel's , which means
if the old nand ecc layout is 4-bits, you should use ecc 4-bit in the
new kernel (by fsl,use-minimum-ecc),
else use 8-bits.

For my case, the ubifs filesystem was created by ecc 4-bits, without
reflash filesystem or change
gpmi-nand.c , so the better way is to use dts configure.

use legacy_set_geometry() :
[    6.713115] GF length              : 13
[    6.713115] ECC Strength           : 8
[    6.713115] Page Size in Bytes     : 2110
[    6.713115] Metadata Size in Bytes : 10
[    6.713115] ECC Chunk Size in Bytes: 512
[    6.713115] ECC Chunk Count        : 4
[    6.713115] Payload Size in Bytes  : 2048
[    6.713115] Auxiliary Size in Bytes: 16
[    6.713115] Auxiliary Status Offset: 12
[    6.713115] Block Mark Byte Offset : 1999
[    6.713115] Block Mark Bit Offset  : 0

use set_geometry_by_ecc_info()
[    6.701262] GF length              : 13
[    6.701262] ECC Strength           : 4

here are some background tips (fsl,use-minimum-ecc) for your refer:

The bug was submitted in regression test,
[1] https://linux-mtd.infradead.narkive.com/hfRFPn3P/gpmi-mtd-ecc-regression

First patch to fix it
[2] https://stable.vger.kernel.narkive.com/mupPGUPj/patch-v2-mtd-gpmi-fix-the-ecc-regression

Introduce devicetree to configure by user(more flexibility)
