Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: gpmi: fall back to legacy mode if no ECC information present

In case fsl,use-minimum-ecc is set, the driver tries to determine
ECC layout by using the ECC information provided by the MTD stack.
However, in case the NAND chip does not provide any information,
the driver currently fails with:
  nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xc2, Chip ID: 0xf1
  nand: Macronix NAND 128MiB 3,3V 8-bit
  nand: 128 MiB, SLC, erase size: 128 KiB, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
  gpmi-nand 1806000.gpmi-nand: Error setting BCH geometry : 1
  gpmi-nand: probe of 1806000.gpmi-nand failed with error 1

Fall back to implementation specific default mode if no ECC
information are provided by the NAND chip and fsl,use-minimum-ecc
is specified.

This is more in line with what the device tree binding documentation
promises:
  "However, note that if this strength is not
  discoverable or this property is not enabled,
  the software may chooses an implementation-defined
  ECC scheme."
