As commit 0d55c668b2 (mtd: rawnand: denali: set SPARE_AREA_SKIP_BYTES
register to 8 if unset") says, there were three solutions discussed:
[1] Add a DT property to specify the skipped bytes in OOB
[2] Associate the preferred value with compatible
[3] Hard-code the default value in the driver
At that time, [3] was chosen because I did not have enough information
about the other platforms than UniPhier.
That commit also says "The preferred value may vary by platform. If so,
please trade up to a different solution." My intention was to replace
[3] with [2], not keep both [2] and [3].
Now that we have switched to [2] for SOCFPGA's SPARE_AREA_SKIP_BYTES=2,
[3] should be removed. This should be OK because denali_pci.c just
gets back to the original behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
