I was not aware of that kind of rule, next time I'll be careful.

I will change: -for specific chips that use on-die ECC feature, ie. the [...]. +for configurations that does set ECC_NONE. Specific chips that use on-die ECC feature, ie. the [...], might also take advantage of it.

I'll edit the commit message, what about:
The layout functions added by this patch intend to be used when ECC_NONE is set, except it is only usable for cases that were not already falling in the supported large/small page with ECC cases. Not breaking existing drivers needs these functions to be set as a fallthrough when no other layout matches and ECC_NONE is actually set.

I though the EXPORT_* was expected as it was below every layout function. I'll remove both of the exports, but as you said, while nobody use them, I won't add the prototypes in nand.h neither, right ?

To be removed then.

Ok, I clearly misunderstood your previous explanation, sorry about that. I'll use your version as is.
