Hi Miquel,

I'm unable to boot 5.10-rc1 on my boards. I get the following error:

[    4.125811] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xad, Chip ID: 0x76

Bisected to commit d7157ff49a5b ("mtd: rawnand: Use the ECC framework  
user input parsing bits")

My first impression is that with that change, the value set in chip->ecc.algo
by gpio_nand_probe() in drivers/mtd/nand/raw/gpio.c gets overwritten  
in rawnand_dt_init()

The following change fixes the problem, though I'm not sure it is the  
right fix. Can you have a look ?
