[PATCH v4 07/21] mtd: rawnand: Create a new enumeration to describe OOB placement

[Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is currently a confusion between the ECC type/mode/provider
(eg. hardware, software, on-die or none) and the ECC bytes placement.

Create a new enumeration to describe this placement.
