Dear Arnaud Ebalard,

Maybe it's worth noting that it's not a build dependency: your commit
changing the Device Tree files can perfectly be applied without the
NAND ECC strength and step size bindings. Of course, it will have no
effect on an older kernel that doesn't support those bindings, but it
will not cause a build failure.

Thanks!

Thomas
