I was trying to fix this according to the dts convention per 
maintainers' requirement(only enable the node in the board dts, not soc 
include). We have 100% of BCMBCA devices use strap for ecc but we still 
have to put the property in board dts.
I understand if someone try to bisect the commits, it may hit the 
problem but this will be very obvious that controller is not even shown 
in the boot up so hopefully it is easy to figure out.  Anyway if 
maintainer(Minque and/or anyone from device tree side) is okay with your 
request, I can change it back to enable in the dtsi.
