Subject: [PATCH 4.15 091/202] mtd: nand: sunxi: Fix ECC strength choice

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@...e-electrons.com>

commit f4c6cd1a7f2275d5bc0e494b21fff26f8dde80f0 upstream.

When the requested ECC strength does not exactly match the strengths
supported by the ECC engine, the driver is selecting the closest
strength meeting the 'selected_strength > requested_strength'
constraint. Fix the fact that, in this particular case, ecc->strength
value was not updated to match the 'selected_strength'.

For instance, one can encounter this issue when no ECC requirement is
filled in the device tree while the NAND chip minimum requirement is not
a strength/step_size combo natively supported by the ECC engine.
