Hi Enric,

Thanks a lot for fixing this.

When adding NAND support for the IGEP boards I used as a base the
example from Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/gpmc-nand.txt and I
wrongly assumed that bch8 was also the ECC scheme used in the legacy
IGEP board file. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just a note that this binding property got renamed for v3.13 on

commit c66d039197e42af8867e5d0d9b904daf0fb9e6bc
Author: Pekon Gupta <pe...@ti.com>
Date:   Thu Oct 24 18:20:18 2013 +0530

    mtd: nand: omap: combine different flavours of 1-bit hamming ecc schemes

so users using current v3.12 kernel or older should use

ti,nand-ecc-opt = "sw";

instead.
