Why not just reverting 9a333a72c1d0 ("mtd: spinand: Use
nanddev_get_ecc_conf() when relevant")? I think using this "new"
nanddev_get_ecc_requirements() helper because it fits the purpose even
if it is wrong [1] doesn't bring the right information. I know it is
strictly equivalent but I would personally prefer keeping the old
writing "nand->eccreq.xxxx".

[1] We don't want the requirements but the actual current configuration
here, which was the primary purpose of the initial patch which ended
being a mistake at that point in time because the SPI-NAND core was not
ready yet.

Thanks,
Miquèl
