    mtd: nand: add generic helpers to check, match, maximize ECC settings · 2c8f8afa
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    Driver are responsible for setting up ECC parameters correctly.
    Those include:
      - Check if ECC parameters specified (usually by DT) are valid
      - Meet the chip's ECC requirement
      - Maximize ECC strength if NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE flag is set
    
    The logic can be generalized by factoring out common code.
    
    This commit adds 3 helpers to the NAND framework:
    nand_check_ecc_caps - Check if preset step_size and strength are valid
    nand_match_ecc_req - Match the chip's requirement
    nand_maximize_ecc - Maximize the ECC strength
    
    To use the helpers above, a driver needs to provide:
      - Data array of supported ECC step size and strength
      - A hook that calculates ECC bytes from the combination of
        step_size and strength.
    
    By using those helpers, code duplication among drivers will be
    reduced.
