It's probably best we do a little more than this. Right now, this allows
someone to specify:
nand-ecc-strength = <20>;
nand-ecc-stepsize = <512>;
nand-ecc-algo = "hamming";
nand-ecc-mode = "hw";
And they'll end up with 1-bit hamming ECC, except nand_base will still
think we have 20-bit correction. I think we need to add a check in this
driver to be sure we haven't selected >1-bit correction with hamming
ECC.
