No, it's hamming code, isn't it? To me it seems similar to the elm
discussion, E.G. we have a mix of ECC algorithm + ECC layout + use of hw
acceleration or not.

The choice of hardware acceleration or not should preferably be
transparent to this binding (E.G. it is purely an optimization, ECC
strength/format shouldn't change), so the driver should be free to
use it if it is available.

Me too!
