Using BCH8 gives ecc errors and makes the router unsuable.
Switching to BCH1 fixes these errors.

Can you provide CFE's log messages starting with
"Decompressing...done" and up to the "Press Ctrl+C to stop in CFE"
please? I'd like to see what NAND info CFE prints there.

See below. It does say BCH-8, however I can't get it to work.
CFE log:
Decompressing...done
Found a Toshiba NAND flash:
Total size: 128MB
Block size: 128KB
Page Size: 2048B
OOB Size: 64B
Sector size: 512B
Spare size: 16B
ECC level: 8 (8-bit)
Device ID: 0x98 0xf1 0x80 0x15 0xf2 0x16
find_devinfo: devinfo block found at 0x00180000!
Press Ctrl+C to stop in CFE
Thanks,
Vivek

What kind of error are you getting in Linux with BCH-8?

This means that:
1) Default mode for your NAND controller is BCH8 (setup at hw level)
2) CFE uses BCH8 when programming flash with provided firmware
For maximum compatibility DTS should describe ECC as using BCH8 and
Linux should use BCH8.
I spent whole day yesterday experimenting with BCM47094 and NAND
controller to understand your case better.
As crazy as it sounds, my NAND controller working in BCH4 mode is
reading flash data programmed using BCH8 perfectly fine! I was testing
& verifying that behavior multiple times for hours. It really works.
I noticed that on my BCM47094 board with CFE working in BCH8:
1) Flashing firmware with CFE results in using BCH8 (expected)
2) Linux with NAND controller in BCH4 can read flash data (unexpected!)
3) Writing flash data results in using BCH4
Above write test proves that NAND controller is really setup into BCH4
mode correctly. How is it possible it reads flash data programmed
using BCH8 is out of my imagination.
Long story short I believe your patch is wrong. DTS should describe
hardware and by default this board uses BCH8 (and so the bootloader).
Current DTS is correct.
As it happens your patch doesn't break anything directly because of
unexpected NAND controller behavior. It's just a matter of "luck"
though due to some weird hardware behavior.

This is expected if you previously were using firmware programming flash
in non-BCH8 mode. The main reason for what you're seeing is that when
flashing image with CFE it doesn't erase all NAND pages.
If previously you were using firmware programming flash in BCH1 mode, it
means that after flashing firmware using BCH8 you'll end up with mess in
ECC.
Part of NAND flash programmed by CFE will use BCH8.
Part of NAND flash that remained from previous fw will use BCH1.
Linux will fail to read part of NAND flash from prev installation.
The cleanest solution: erase all NAND content of firmware partition
before flashing firmware using BCH8.
The easiest solution: ignore all these "error -74 (ECC error) while
reading" errors (they may last for few minutes!). I believe UBI should
simply recreate all pages it couldn't access and once you wait long
enough, all your NAND flash will be using BCH8.

Let me build the firmware with BCH-8 and wait it out. I'll report back my
results.

I can confirm that BCH-8 indeed works after letting it run through those
ECC errors.
Thanks!

Great, thanks! That controller behavior (reading BCH8 fine while
working in BCH4 mode) is really confusing.
