[PATCH v1] mtd: rawnand: micron: don't error out if internal ECC is set

[zdhays]

From: Zak Hays <zdhays@xxxxxxxxx>

Recent changes to the driver require use of on-die correction if
the internal ECC enable bit is set. On some Micron parts, this bit
is enabled by default and there is no method for disabling it.

This is a false assumption though as that bit being enabled does not
necessarily mean that the on-die ECC *has* to be used. It has been
verified with a Micron FAE that other methods of error correction are
still valid even if this bit is set.

HW ECC offers generally higher performance than on-die so it is
preferred in some situations. This also allows multiple NAND parts to
be supported on the same PCB as some parts may not support on-die
error correction.

With that in mind, only throw a warning that the on-die bit is set
and allow the init to continue.
