I like the idea, actually I am working on this separation (see
[1]) and I would really appreciate that you try to implement the
interface when it will be available (v2 is coming this week, I think v3
will be the one to test when raw NAND devices will be properly
supported). I will add you in Cc: if you want to follow/review.

"the ECC engine does it for us" would be more meaningful.
