In the current setup core will never call ecc.calculate as we're overriding every op
that can be used.
The thing is that omap driver code uses these hooks as is so I wasn't sure
if I should change the caller code to call the multi versions directly and fix these
hooks to single sector versions.
Alternatively, is it OK to set them to NULL?
