[PATCH] mtd: gpmi: fix the ecc regression

[Huang Shijie <b32955-KZfg59tc24xl57MIdRCFDg@public.gmane.org>]

The patch "2febcdf mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info"
makes the gpmi to use the ECC info provided by the MTD code, and creates
a different NAND ecc layout for the BCH which brings a regression to us:
   We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ecc layout.

This patch adds a new property : "fsl,use-mtd-ecc-info".

If we do not enable it, we will use the ecc strength calculated by ourselves
and use all the OOB area (this is the legacy method);

If we enable it, we will use the ecc strength provided by the MTD layer,
and create a new NAND ecc layout which may has free space in the OOB
(for some SLC nand, we may support the JFFS2 with the new NAND ecc layout).
