Hi Joern:

I have submitted a patch set to expose the ecc step size to the user space.

see:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-August/048114.html

Since your driver does not set the ecc.size, nor calls the nand_scan/nand_scan_ident/nand_scan_tail.

The real problem was that by default, we would expose ecc_step_size = 0 for alauda.

I am not sure if this patch set affect your driver or not. Please let me know if it does affect your driver.

I see Joern submitted a patch for this driver's removal, so this point is now moot.

Thanks,
Brian

Yes. I've had two independent people/groups look into this driver, which exceeds the entire user base. That's just a waste of time for everyone involved.
