Here my modification:

   diff --git a/drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c b/drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c
   index 31aae53..3e4519f 100644
   --- a/drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c
   +++ b/drivers/mtd/nand/pxa3xx_nand.c
   @@ -1498,6 +1508,8 @@ KEEP_CONFIG:
    
           ecc_strength = chip->ecc_strength_ds;
           ecc_step = chip->ecc_step_ds;
   +       dev_info(&info->pdev->dev, "ECC strength %d, ECC step size %d\n",
   +                       ecc_strength, ecc_step);
    
           /* Set default ECC strength requirements on non-ONFI devices */
           if (ecc_strength < 1 && ecc_step < 1) {

and the corresponding output:

   pxa3xx-nand f10d0000.nand: ECC strength 4, ECC step size 512

Great. Thanks! :-)

Ciao,
