You said there is currently no DT users, so how about changing the
"fallback to ECC maximization" behavior for DT users, and instead of
maximizing the ECC strength take the NAND requirements into account
(chip->ecc_strength_ds).

For PCI users, you explicitly set the NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE flag, so it
shouldn't be a problem (you're still backward compatible).
