The code change refactor the bch geometry setting function, which doesn't change the default behavior, while user may choose to use chips required minimum ecc strength by DT flag "fsl,use-minimum-ecc". The default way to set bch geometry need to set the data chunk size(step_size) larger than oob size to make sure BBM locates in data chunk, then set the maximum ecc strength oob can hold. It always use unbalanced ECC layout, which ecc0 will cover both meta and data0 chunk. But the default bch setting is deprecated for large oobsize NAND (oobsize >1KB), so in the patch set, there is a split commit that introduces a new way to set bch geometry for large oob size NAND. For all other cases,set the bch geometry by chip required strength and step size, which uses the minimum ecc strength chip required. It can be explicitly enabled by DT flag "fsl,use-minimum-ecc", but need to be en/disabled in both u-boot and kernel at the same time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
