Document nand-use-soft-ecc-engine and nand-no-ecc-engine properties.
The former is here to force software correction, the latter prevents
any correction to happen.

These properties (along with nand-ecc-engine) are supposed to be more
accurate than the current nand-ecc-modes wich is very misleading and
very often people think it is mandatory while the core should be
relied upon to decide which correction to handle.

nand-ecc-mode was already inacurate, but it becomes totally
problematic with setups where there are several hardware engines.

Still the same problem as v10.

You want:

nand-no-ecc-engine:
  type: boolean
  description: Do not use any ECC correction.

I am very sorry for the error, I fixed both commits with a fixup!
commit at the end of my series and forgot to squash them before
sending...

I'll resend the proper patches. Again, sorry for the time lost.

Thanks,
