[PATCH v5 08/11] mtd: add ECC info for nand_flash_dev{}

Wed May 15 04:40:31 EDT 2013


Add an instance of an anonymous struct to store the ECC infor for full id
nand chips.
	@ecc.strength: ECC correctability from the datasheet.
	@ecc.step: ECC size required by the @ecc.strength,

Also add the necessary macros to make the code simple and clean.
