Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mtd: nand: add generic helpers to check, match, maximize ECC settings

Each driver has been responsible for:
  - Check if ECC setting specified (mostly by DT) is valid
  - Meet the chip's required ECC strength
  - Maximize the strength when NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE flag is set

The logic can be generalized by factoring out driver-specific
parameters.  A driver provides:
  - Array of (step_size, strength) supported on the controller
  - A hook that calculates ECC bytes from the combination of
    (step_size, strength).

Then, this commit provides 3 helper functions:
nand_check_ecc_caps - Check if preset (step_size, strength) is valid
nand_try_to_match_ecc_req - Match the chip's requirement
nand_try_to_maximize_ecc - Maximize the ECC strength

These helpers will save duplicated code among drivers.
