[PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: mtd: gpmi-nand: specify fsl, use-minimum-ecc behavior

The dt property fsl,use-minimum-ecc requires a NAND chip to
provide a ECC strength/step size, otherwise the driver fails
to probe. This is by design to avoid that the driver uses a
fallback and later changes ECC parameters due to additionion
of a NAND chip driver. Document the current behavior.
