You mean rename it to "amlogic,boot-pages-length" or something like that ? But I think
length in bytes is useless here:
1) boot rom needs that only some single pages are written in special mode (and as I see in
   vendor's driver it also works in pages).
2) NAND driver operates in pages during write/read such pages.

So length in bytes will be converted to pages anyway.

What do You think ?

Thanks, Arseniy
