You could fallback to hw_syndrome when this property is not provided.
That would make it optional (and if you ever want to support other
modes, you'll just have to explicitly specify nand-ecc-mode).

Those 2 properties are no longer mandatory (you fallback to values
stored in _ds if they are missing).

Best Regards,

Boris
