That sounds about right, and it should address the issues
I raised earlier in this thread.
Though I might name it differently. Reason being that the
"read OOB first" bit is only needed when there's more than
one ecc.step ... small page chips won't need it. Maybe it
would suffice to map that mode to ECC_HW in those cases.
