Hi Kyungmin

The nand_ecclayout structure for OneNAND has 3 bytes
at position 2 marked as free (see below).  However,
the documentation describes these 3 bytes as
"Managed by internal ECC logic for Logical Sector
Number data".

Are these bytes, in fact, free, and should they be listed
in oobfree as they are now?

Regards
Adrian
