No, eccbytes should equal ecc.total


i.e. from nand_base.c

static struct nand_ecclayout nand_oob_64 = {
        .eccbytes = 24,
        .eccpos = {
                   40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,
                   48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,
                   56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63},
        .oobfree = {
                {.offset = 2,
                 .length = 38}}
};
