Yes because if I don't i would get the timeouts described in this thread :-)
>    - Is your bootloader using 4b/512B ECC strength ?
strength 4, ecc_stepsize 512, page_size 2048 but the uboot driver sets 
it to strength 16, ecc_stepsize 512, page_size 2048,
just like the current pxa3xx driver in the kernel does.

UBI

It continues to count to:
Bad eraseblock 2047 at 0x00000ffe0000

No

No

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i can't find anywhere the 
nand-ecc-step-size is read by the new nand driver?
