I see.

Then please split this change, one updating the helpers with an "x4"
prefix when relevant and another one for 8 vs. grouped.

I don't like the name. Interleaved means that there are OOB bytes
stored in the data section, which is not the case here. The way OOB
bytes are organized do not seem relevant to me, I think i prefer the
"_4_/_8_" naming,even if it's not very explicit.

Also please be consistent, do not mix "_4_" and "interleaved" (see the
other patch).

Any feedback from Micron to validate these changes will be appreciated.

Thanks,
