commit 3a1b777eb9fb75d09c45ae5dd1d007eddcbebf1f upstream.
Until recently the "upper layer" was MTD. But following incremental
reworks to bring spi-nand support and more recently generic ECC support,
there is now an intermediate "generic NAND" layer that also needs to get
access to some values. When using "converted" ECC engines, like the
software ones, these values are already propagated correctly. But
otherwise when using good old raw NAND controller drivers, we need to
manually set these values ourselves at the end of the "scan" operation,
once these values have been negotiated.
Without this propagation, later (generic) checks like the one warning
users that the ECC strength is not high enough might simply no longer
work.

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.
