I have problems understanding "soft" values which maps to the
NAND_ECC_SOFT. What exactly algorithm is that? It uses functions from
drivers/mtd/nand/nand_ecc.c but this file isn't really helpful. I was
only able to find "3-byte ECC" phase. Kconfig config MTD_NAND_ECC also
doesn't have any description. I also tried looking at
Documentation/mtd/nand_ecc.txt but still no luck.

Does this algorithm has any name?
