Hmm, in general I'd say yes, but that raises the issue with certain
drivers (such as fsl elbc) of how to communicate the ECC layout being
used to the kernel.  Currently (or at least, with a patch that was
posted) the kernel will leave u-boot's configuration alone.  Perhaps we
should add a device tree property.

No, if initialization is deferred have it happen automatically when the
first real nand command is run.  We already defer the bad block scan in
this manner.
