mtd: nand: fix incorrect ecc strength values
This fixes a couple of ecc strength values for which I earlier made conservative guesses, but whose correct values were later determined¹ (thanks Ivan). Also sets strength for fsl_ifc_nand, which was merged to mainline after the original patch that set the strength for all drivers. ¹ http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-March/040325.html Signed-off-by: Mike Dunn <mikedunn@newsguy.com> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
