[PATCH v3 1/4] mtd: rawnand: gpmi: Refactor bch geometry settings function

[Han Xu]

The code change refactor the bch geometry setting function, which still
use the legacy bch setting as default option, while user may choose to
use chips required minimum ecc strength by DT flag "fsl,use-minimum-ecc".

The driver uses legacy bch geometry settings by default, if the NAND
chips oob size is less than 1KB. The legacy_set_geometry() sets the data
chunk size(step_size) larger than oob size to make sure BBM locates in
data chunk, then set the maximum ecc strength oob can hold. It always use
unbalanced ECC layout, which ecc0 will cover both meta and data0 chunk.

For all other cases,set the bch geometry by chip required strength and
step size, which uses the minimum ecc strength chip required. It can be
explicitly enabled by DT flag "fsl,use-minimum-ecc", but need to be
en/disabled in both u-boot and kernel at the same time.
