Why do you need a special case here for gpmi-nand? GPMI should be
initializing nand_ecc_ctrl.size (this->ecc.size) to something meaningful
instead of directly setting to 1. Then nand_base will take care of
setting mtd.ecc_step.

Along the same line, you shouldn't need to directly override
mtd.ecc_strength here; you should be setting this->ecc.strength
appropriately.

I see several instances here where gpmi-nand is hacking around
nand_base, rather than using its intended infrastructure.

The right way seems to be to avoid nand_scan() directly but instead to
use nand_scan_ident() and nand_scan_tail() separately (that's what
they're exported for) so that you can initialize any geometry-related
options before nand_scan_tail() does the last steps.

In the end, you shouldn't be needing to override this->scan_bbt at all,
since you really intend to use the default implementation; you just are
doing this to hack around your issues. In fact, I think every use of
nand_default_bbt() outside of nand_base is a design mistake.
