[PATCH v5 14/21] dt-bindings: mtd: Add the nand-ecc-placement property

[Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Placement is where the ECC bytes are expected.
No value means the controller can do whatever it desires (default is
to put ECC bytes at the end of the OOB area). Alternative placement is
"interleaved" (also sometimes referred as "syndrome") where data and
OOB are mixed.
