Previously, we requested that drivers pass ecc.size and ecc.bytes when
using NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH. However, a driver is likely to only know the ECC
strength required for its NAND, so each driver would need to perform a
strength-to-bytes calculation.

Avoid duplicating this calculation in each driver by asking drivers to
pass ecc.size and ecc.strength so that the strength-to-bytes calculation
need only be implemented once.

This reverts/generalizes this commit:
    mtd: nand: Base BCH ECC bytes on required strength

Apart from the nit below, you can add my:

How about fixing all NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH users (AFAICT the only remaining
one is nandsim, since you fixed sunxi_nand) instead of keeping this
backward compat code.


Best Regards,

Boris,
Yes, nandsim was the only other that I found. I will submit an update that
does not include this backward compatibility code, thanks.
