The one who had the patch in his/her hands last, must be on the bottom 
of the list. Chronological order so to say.

    * It can run for arbitrary NAND flash chips with different block and OOB sizes. Currently there
    * are a few known devices in the wild that make use of this ECC engine
    * (Linksys LGS328C, LGS352C & Netlink HG323DAC). To keep compatibility with vendor firmware,
    * new modes can only be added when new data layouts have been analyzed. For now allow BCH6 on
    * flash with 2048 byte blocks and at least 64 bytes oob. Some vendors make use of
    * 128 bytes OOB NAND chips (e.g. Macronix MX35LF1G24AD) but only use BCH6 and thus the first
    * 64 bytes of the OOB area. In this case the engine leaves any extra bytes unused.

Small adaptions fromm y side in the comment above. Check for spelling 
mistakes and line lengths. With this good to go from my side.
