CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ATMEL_ECC_SOFT is fully compatible with u-boot management of
NAND flash.
Indeed CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ATMEL_ECC_HW uses a different layout of OOB (ecc just
after data, at bad block notification location). If you use this option in
Linux, you will have to make sure that u-boot supports it.
