Some further debugging. Nothing (in 4.17) calls 
set_bit(ONFI_FEATURE_ON_DIE_ECC) so I don't think 
micron_supports_on_die_ecc() can return anything other than 
MICRON_ON_DIE_UNSUPPORTED, unless I'm missing something for how the 
{get,set}_feature_list is populated.

With the onfi.version fix and the following

I can get micron_supports_on_die_ecc() to return MICRON_ON_DIE_SUPPORTED.

Then I run into a problem with the marvell_nand.c which currently 
doesn't handle NAND_ECC_ON_DIE which is easily fixed.

But then I have the issue that I need to handle systems with either type 
of ECC scheme ("on-die" or "hw") which I'm not sure is even possible 
within the dts.

I'll re-base against 4.18-rc1 and send what I have so-far.
