[PATCH] mtd: nand: Disable subpage writes for drivers without ecc->hwctl

[Helmut Schaa]

nand_write_subpage_hwecc causes a crash if the driver did not register
ecc->hwctl or ecc->calculate. Fix this by disabling subpage writes if
ecc->hwctl or ecc->calculate is not provided by the driver.

This behavior was introduced in commit 837a6ba4f3b6d23026674e6af6b6849a4634fff9
"mtd: nand: subpage write support for hardware based ECC schemes".

This fixes a crash with fsl_elbc_nand and maybe others:

I noticed this bug on openwrt with kernel 3.10 but it looks as if this can
still happen in more recent kernels.
