To me things looks confusing, because ecc_size is actually ECC step size, and not the size of ECC codes.

In order to implement the NAND boot for some Freescale's chips, such as imx23/imx28/imx50/imx6, we use a tool (called kobs-ng) to burn the uboot and some metadata to nand chip. And the ROM code will use the metadata to configrate the BCH, and to find the uboot. The ECC information(ecc step size, ecc strength) which is used to configrate the BCH is part of the metadata. The kobs-ng can gets the ecc strength from the sys node /sys/*/ecc_strength now. But it can not gets the ecc step size. This patch adds a new field to store the ecc step size in mtd_info{}, and it makes preparation for the next patches.
