Did you test this?

NAK! You're treating a u8 as u32. This should give you some subset of
the following warnings, from gcc and sparse:

In file included from include/linux/of_device.h:8:0,
                 from drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c:35:

and it leaves you open to memory corruption, as of_property_read_u32()
might try clobbering 3 more bytes of data after the ecc_bits field.

All in all, there's a reason the code is written the way it is, and I
don't see any good reason to do what your patch does.
