Add more commit for ecc_strength and ecc_size fields.
We can treat the comment as the initial semantics for the two fields.

I would recommend different wording, describing what they represent

How about just: "minimum number of bits correctability, if known; if
unknown, set to 0

"recommend ECC step size, if known; if unknown, set to 0"
