OK. I still don't have a full understanding about the ECC schemes so to ensure 
we
don't break anything I can just leave nsectors as it is and probably just store 
a
copy of it in omap_nand_info to avoid reading it back from gpmc_ecc_config.

I still have a few questions to clarify my understanding.

The only difference between OMAP_ECC_CODE_BCHx_HW_DETECTION_SW and
OMAP_ECC_CODE_BCHx_HW is that in the former the _correction_ is done by software
and in the latter the _correction_ is done by hardware (i.e. ELM module).
In both cases the _detection_ is done by the same hardware IP via 
ecc.calculate(),
i.e. omap_calculate_ecc_bch().

so why should nsector be different for both in the _detection_ stage?

An I right that ecc_steps is nothing but number of sub-blocks ECC calculation 
and correction
needs to be done for larger pages. This is a function of ECC hw capability 
(chip->ecc.size)
and NAND flash capability (mtd->writesize). i.e. ecc_steps = mtd->writesize / 
chip->ecc.size

We hardcode chip->ecc.size to 512 for all the ECC schemes in omap_nand_probe() 
so
calculate and correct will always be called for 512 byte sized blocks. So when 
does
the usecase for nsector > 1 come in?
