Actually, the NAND chip gives some hints to help controller drivers
decide which ecc-block-size/strength is appropriate
(chip->ecc_strength_ds, chip->ecc_step_ds), so, in most cases
nand-ecc-step-size is unneeded (unless you want to force a specific
setting).

You should set it to chip->ecc_step_ds and pick a default value only if
it's still 0 after that. Same goes for ecc.strength.

Usually the NAND chips expose the ECC requirements, so basing our
decision only on the type of NAND sounds a bit weird.
