Even if this is not supposed to happen, there is no reason to fail the
probe if it was explicitly requested to use no ECC engine at all (for
instance, during development). This condition is met by just
commenting out the error on the OOB free bytes count after the
assignation of an ECC engine if none was provided (any other situation
would error out much earlier anyway).

Currently, BCH and Hamming engine are sharing the same
tweaking/restoring I/O mechanism: they need the I/O request to fully
cover the main/OOB area. Let's make this code generic as sharing the
code between two drivers is already a win. Maybe other ECC engine
drivers will need it too.

Create a generic ECC engine framework. This is a base to instantiate ECC
engine objects.
If we really want to be generic, bindings must evolve, so here is the
new logic. The following three properties are mutually exclusive:
- The nand-no-ecc-engine boolean property is set and there is no
ECC engine to retrieve.
- The nand-use-soft-ecc-engine boolean property is set and the core
will force using the use of software correction.
- There is a nand-ecc-engine property pointing at a node which will
act as ECC engine.
It the later case, the property may reference:
- The NAND chip node itself (for the on-die ECC case).
- The parent node if the NAND controller embeds an ECC engine.
- Any other node being an external ECC controller as well.
