[Ported to U-Boot from the Linux kernel, commit 78933218f5c, original author Kamal Dasu kdasu.kdev@gmail.com] The following description is from that patch:
If both nand-ecc-strength and nand-ecc-step-size are not specified in device tree node for NAND, raw NAND layer does detect ECC information by reading ONFI extended parameter page for parts using ONFI >= 2.1. In case of non-ONFI NAND parts there could be a nand_id table entry with ECC information. If there is valid device tree entry for nand-ecc-strength and nand-ecc-step-size fields it still shall override the detected values.
