Maybe it's worth noting that it's not a build dependency: your commit
changing the Device Tree files can perfectly be applied without the
NAND ECC strength and step size bindings. Of course, it will have no
effect on an older kernel that doesn't support those bindings, but it
will not cause a build failure.
Yes. To be more explicit, if the patches are candidates for stable, I
think they are only useful for 3.16.y (3.16 is the first kernel with
5b3e507820c6). As you point, backporting down to 3.14 would not hurt
but would only be decorative.
Cheers,
