[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: xway: No hardcoded ECC engine for Micron Chips

[Daniel Kestrel]

Some lantiq xway devices use Micron NAND chips, which use on-die ECC.
The hardcoded setting of NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_SOFT makes them unusable,
because the software ECC on top of the hardware ECC produces errors for
every read and write access, not to mention that booting does not work,
because the boot loader uses the correct ECC when trying to load the
kernel and stops loading on severe ECC errors.
Removing the hardcoded settings would break a number of devices that
work with those settings.
Adding a DTB property was considered, but did not work, because devices
of the same type but from different manufacture dates have different
NAND chips and as such it is not possible to determine the NAND chip
in advance or device specific.
