Yeah I was not sure about that. Currently it says:

- nand-ecc-algo: string, algorithm of NAND ECC.                         

                 Supported values are: "hamming", "bch".

Is supported meant by software ECC here? I feel "supported" is a rather
strong word since it is clearly controller dependent whether it is
actually supported...
