Indeed. You shouldn't use NAND without ecc.

If possible you should use hardware ecc. It may be though that it has
bugs that force you to use software ecc, but I'm not familiar with the

Does it work in the kernel? If yes, try looking for differences. The
NAND layers are sufficiently similar.

I have no idea.
