Subject: [PATCH 2/8] of: Add helper to retrieve ECC memory bits

The /memory device tree bindings allow to store the ECC detection and
correction bits through the ecc-detection-bits and ecc-correction-bits
properties.

Our next patches rely on whether ECC is enabled, so let's add a helper
to retrieve the ECC correction bits from the /memory node.
