Third round, fixing a stupid semi-colon miss.
NAND controllers have special ECC modes, raising per-driver ECC mode devicetree
binding. See for instance the binding for OMAP:
- ti,nand-ecc-opt: A string setting the ECC layout to use. One of:
"sw" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
"hw" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
"hw-romcode" <deprecated> use "ham1" instead
"ham1" 1-bit Hamming ecc code
"bch4" 4-bit BCH ecc code
"bch8" 8-bit BCH ecc code
Other drivers (such as pxa3xx-nand) have similar requirements, with special
(controller-specific) ECC modes. Instead of adding a possibly different
binding per compatible-string, let's add generic ECC strength and ECC step size.
This properties aim at providing a complete description of the required ECC
correction to let drivers choose the appropriate ECC mode.
Changes from v2:
* Added a missing semi-colon.
Changes from v1:
* Improve the binding documentation, as per Brian Norris' suggestions.
* Added the helper functions.
