Hi Stefan

What about a user that wants one of the other valid values?
NAND_ECC_OOB_FIRST, NAND_ECC_HW_SYNDROME, etc.

Would:

	if (IS_ERR(board->ecc_mode)) {
		nc->ecc.mode = NAND_ECC_SOFT;
		dev_info(&pdev->dev, "Defaulting to NAND_ECC_SOFT");
	} else
		nc->ecc.mode = board->ecc_mode

be better?

   Andrew
