commit f4c6cd1a7f2275d5bc0e494b21fff26f8dde80f0 upstream.
When the requested ECC strength does not exactly match the strengths supported by the ECC engine, the driver is selecting the closest strength meeting the 'selected_strength > requested_strength' constraint. Fix the fact that, in this particular case, ecc->strength value was not updated to match the 'selected_strength'.
For instance, one can encounter this issue when no ECC requirement is filled in the device tree while the NAND chip minimum requirement is not a strength/step_size combo natively supported by the ECC engine.
