micron_supports_on_die_ecc() returns MICRON_ON_DIE_UNSUPPORTED. 
Technically this chip should be MICRON_ON_DIE_MANDATORY since it can't 
be disabled but that wouldn't be much help since that would still result 
in -EINVAL. I'll dig into micron_supports_on_die_ecc() and see if I can 
find something in the datasheet to use.
