mtd: nand: add sanity check of ecc strength to nand_scan_tail()
This patch adds sanity checks that ensure that drivers for controllers with hardware ECC set the 'strength' element in struct nand_ecc_ctrl. Also stylistic changes to the line that calculates strength for software ECC. This v2 simplifies the check. Thanks Brian!¹ ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-April/040890.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Acked-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
