Our array nand_ecc_algos doesn't specify mappings for all available
enum nand_ecc_algo values. The one missing there is NAND_ECC_UNKNOWN
as this value is reserved for algorithm not being specified at all.
It means we have to be careful when iterating this array and handle
NULL values.

Hi Boris,

Sorry for this crash in nand subsystem :( If you think it's OK you may
pick this patch as a fixup for
c6e002a7ca9f ("mtd: nand: add support for "nand-ecc-algo" DT property")

Can we add an "unknown" entry, or start iterating at NAND_ECC_HAMMING
or NAND_ECC_UNKNOWN + 1 instead of adding this extra test?

BTW, since the original commit has been applied recently I'll squash the
changes into the previous commit and rebase my branch instead of adding
a new patch (I hate breaking bisectability).

Sure, if you think it's better. I'll send V2.
