Let's pick a name and stick to it. I think "ECC provider type" or
"ECC engine type" are good names.

I'd rename that one nand_ecc_engine_types or nand_ecc_provider_types.

Looks like you went for ecc_engine_type here, so let's stick to that.

NAND_ECC_ENGINE_TYPE_xxx

Do we really need a value for NONE? I'd expect the engine type to be
applicable to NAND that have some sort of ECC engine connected to them.
