Subject: [ 46/82] mtd: mxc_nand: move ecc strengh setup before nand_scan_tail

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

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

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@...gutronix.de>

commit 4a43faf54e9173b6acce37cf7f053fc9515a2cdf upstream.

Since commit 6a918bade9dab40aaef80559bd1169c69e8d69cb, the mxc_nand driver
fails with:

Driver must set ecc.strength when using hardware ECC

This is because nand_scan_tail checks for correct ecc strength
settings, so we must set them up before nand_scan_tail.
