We currently only use the spl nand code to get u-boot itself, which _always_ is located on a syndrome partition. Once we figure out how we are going to store the u-boot env on nand, we may need non syndrome support, but even then there will likely be better ways to determine whether to use syndrome or not (e.g. look at the loadaddr passed in).

I suppose I should back reference my question as to whether we should remove this option (even though it seems to have ended up the other way round to what I was anticipating).
Actually I've been discussing nand partitioning with Boris Brezillon and it looks like that we need may need to use a non syndrome partition for u-boot on some nands, because the ecc options supported by the BROM are too weak for this nand, so we will only use a BROM compatible ecc setting for the spl and use a separate nand partition for u-boot. We're still figuring this out, but I think I'll drop this patch for now, as we may need this after all.
