Let's make the raw NAND API consistent by patching all helpers and
hooks to take a nand_chip object instead of an mtd_info one.
Now is ecc->correct()'s turn.

nand_bch_init() requires several arguments which could directly be deduced
from the mtd device. Get rid of those useless parameters.
nand_bch_init() is also requiring the caller to provide a proper eccbytes
value, while this value could be deduced from the ecc.size and
ecc.strength value. Fallback to eccbytes calculation when it is set to 0.

The error code returned by the ecc.correct() are not consistent over the
all implementations.
Document the expected behavior in include/linux/mtd/nand.h and fix
offending implementations.
[Brian: this looks like a bugfix for the ECC reporting in the bf5xx_nand
driver, but we haven't seen any testing results for it]

This patch adds software BCH ECC support to mtd, in order to handle recent
NAND device ecc requirements (4 bits or more).
It does so by adding a new ecc mode (NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH) for use by board
drivers, and a new Kconfig option to enable BCH support. It relies on the
generic BCH library introduced in a previous patch.
When a board driver uses mode NAND_ECC_SOFT_BCH, it should also set fields
chip->ecc.size and chip->ecc.bytes to select BCH ecc data size and required
error correction capability. See nand_bch_init() documentation for details.
It has been tested on the following platforms using mtd-utils, UBI and
UBIFS: x86 (with nandsim), arm926ejs.
