Yesterday I got my hands on an EVM TI just sent and could test it on it.
The change proper is fine, but I was surprised mainline was broken wrt
4-bit ECC on top of 8bits NANDs, so I tested with 1-bit ECC, 'enough'
for this device.

FYI, the NAND socket had a
  nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0x2c, Chip ID: 0xdc
  nand: Micron MT29F4G08AAC
  nand: 512 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
