[PATCH 2/2] mtd: gpmi: add sanity check for the ECC strength

The mx23/mx28 can only support 20-bits ECC, while the mx6
can supports 40-bits ECC.

Some new nand chips may require 40-bits ECC. So we should
add the sanity check for the ECC strength. If we can not
support this nand chip, we should quit.
