See commit: c0cbfd0e81d879a950ba6f0df3f75ea30c5ab16e
Using __nand_correct_data() helper function, this driver can read 512
byte (with 6 byte ECC) at a time.

This is correct, but not more:
With NAND chips providing page sizes > 512 Bytes
chip->ecc.bytes are calculated > 6 in txx9ndfmc_nand_scan.
According the data sheet there are (only) 6 bytes ECC available.

After applying the patch a Hynix 512M*8 with 2k page size could be
successfully formatted and used with an ubifs file system.

Thank you for the fix.  It is good news that this controller can work
with large page NAND.
