Subject: RE: [PATCH] mtd: Expand the ecc placement locations to 1260

This device has a Page size x8: 17,600 bytes (16,384 + 1216 bytes) and minimum required ECC 24-bit ECC per 1100 bytes of data.  Spare area needed for ECC would be ECC * M, where M is (codeword <= 2^m-1).  In this case M=14, because (1100*8)<=2^14-1, therefore minimum spare area needed is 14*24 = 336b or 42B per codeword.  So for this device a minimum of 672bytes of the 1216 need to be used for ECC, the rest can be used for other purposes.

Device like MT29F32G08ABCDBJ4 have a writesize/oobsize of 16K/1260 Bytes.
So, increasing the maximum ecc placement locations to 1260
