This property is needed to precisely point to the hardware ECC engine
to use when there are several of them available. Here, hardware also
refers to the on-die possibility.

+          A phandle on the hardware ECC engine if any. There are
+          basically three possibilities:
+          1/ The ECC engine is part of the NAND controller, in this
