[PATCH v2 6/7] mtd: nand: add sanity check of ecc strength to nand_scan_tail()

This patch adds sanity checks that ensure that drivers for controllers with
hardware ECC set the 'strength' element in struct nand_ecc_ctrl.  Also stylistic
changes to the line that calculates strength for software ECC.

This v2 simplifies the check.  Thanks Brian! [1]
