+- nand-ecc-strength: integer representing the number of bits to correct
+ per ECC step.
+
+- nand-ecc-step-size: integer representing the number of data bytes
+ that are covered by a single ECC step.
+
+The ECC strength and ECC step size properties define the correction capability
+of a controller. Together, they say a controller can correct "{strength} bit
+errors per {size} bytes".
+
+The interpretation of these parameters is implementation-defined, so not all
+implementations must support all possible combinations. However, implementations
+are encouraged to further specify the value(s) they support.
