This commit log needs some love ;) How about something along these lines:

"ELM hardware can process up to ERR_VECTOR_MAX channels in parallel for
ECC error detection. However, the actual number of channels that need to
be processed is the ECC step number." ?

Perhaps you could add some more information (I'm not too familiar with ELM),
what's the impact of this change? Does it fix any bug or the over-looping
was harmless?

I think it would be less confusing if you can add the ecc_steps field on this
patch, where you start to use it.
