Subject: [ 030/171] mtd cs553x_nand: Initialise ecc.strength before nand_scan()

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

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

From: Nathan Williams <nathan@...verse.com.au>

commit d1f3b65d2d6fdb4bf0edd4b67e86e191af48daee upstream.

Loading cs553x_nand with Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR NAND flash causes this bug:

Initialising ecc.strength before the call to nand_scan() fixes this.
