[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: ecc: Rework Kconfig dependencies

Unlike "depends on", "select" does not enforce any type (y or m), which
can lead to the following situation:
* SPI_MXIC=y expects the NAND symbols to be built statically
* SPI_MXIC depends on MTD_NAND_ECC
* MTD_NAND_ECC selects MTD_NAND_CORE
In this case MTD_NAND_CORE=m is "valid" but will trigger 'undefined
reference' link errors.
The cleanest way to handle the situation is to use a "depends on"
between MTD_NAND_ECC and MTD_NAND_CORE to avoid such situations.
While at modifying the MTD_NAND_ECC symbol, fix the spacing.

Changes in v2:
* Pratyush Ack.
* Stopped quoting a missing error log. Mentioned the 'undefined
reference' link error instead.
