Hm.. when was this proposal agreed? It seems I've missed the
discussion...

FWIW, we've already proposed an equivalent one, but it received no
feedback from the devicetree maintainers:
Sorry, binding review has become a huge undertaking.

Maybe we can discuss about it now?

nand-ecc-strength : integer ECC required strength.
nand-ecc-size : integer step size associated to the ECC strength.
I'm okay with either, but the above binding is indeed more readable.

That's fine by me, if everybody agrees, let's go for the
nand-ecc-strength/nand-ecc-size couple then.

I'll rebase next version of my series on Ezequiel's patch providing
these OF helpers.

Best Regards,

Boris
