commit 2c8f8afa7f92 ("mtd: nand: add generic helpers to check,
match, maximize ECC settings") provides generic helpers which
drivers can use for setting up ECC parameters.
Since same board can have different ECC strength nand chips so
following is the logic for setting up ECC strength and ECC step
size, which can be used by most of the drivers.
1. If both ECC step size and ECC strength are already set
(usually by DT) then just check whether this setting
is supported by NAND controller.
2. If NAND_ECC_MAXIMIZE is set, then select maximum ECC strength
supported by NAND controller.
3. Otherwise, try to match the ECC step size and ECC strength closest
to the chip's requirement. If available OOB size can't fit the chip
requirement then select maximum ECC strength which can be fit with
available OOB size.
This patch introduces nand_ecc_choose_conf function which calls the
required helper functions for the above logic. The drivers can use
this single function instead of calling the 3 helper functions
individually.

* Changes from v3:
1. call nand_maximize_ecc() 2 times to make code more clear.
* Changes from v2:
1. Renamed function to nand_ecc_choose_conf.
2. Minor code reorganization to remove warning and 2 function calls
for nand_maximize_ecc.
* Changes from v1:
