Sorry for being so unresponsive these days, I've been on vacation.
I'll review your patch on Monday.

In fact, already took a quick look and it looks good. I have a few
doubts:

1. Do we need the ECC layout? (MTD already provides defaults)

2. Is this compatible with Marvell's U-Boot? (can you write from U-Boot,
and read from Linux, and viceversa?)

Regards and thanks a lot for your contribution!
Ezequiel

Ok, I did some testes and we can safely remove it! :)

Till now all our tests are ok! :)

Attached is the new patch release.
