Sorry, I got this wrong in my previous review. It should be

	if (!mtd->ooblayout &&
	    ((ecc->mode != NAND_ECC_SOFT &&
	      ecc->mode != NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH) ||
	     ecc->algo != NAND_ECC_BCH) {

otherwise we're only addressing the software ECC case, and IIRC, some
drivers rely on these default layouts for their HW ECC implementation.

The rest looks good to me.

Thanks,

Boris
