The Programmable Multibit ECC (PMECC) controller is a programmable binary
BCH(Bose, Chaudhuri and Hocquenghem) encoder and decoder. This controller
can be used to support both SLC and MLC NAND Flash devices. It supports to
generate ECC to correct 2, 4, 8, 12 or 24 bits of error per sector of data.
To use PMECC in this driver, the user needs to set the PMECC correction
capability, the sector size and ROM lookup table offsets in board config file.
This driver is ported from Linux kernel atmel_nand PMECC patch. The main difference
is in this version it uses registers structure access hardware instead of using macros.
It is tested in 9x5 serial boards.

This patch
1. extract the hwecc initialization code into one function. It is a preparation for adding atmel PMECC support.
2. enable CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SELF_INIT. Which make us can configurate the ecc parameters between nand_scan_ident() and nand_scan_tail().

If NCE is hooked up to NCS3, we don't need to (and can't)
explicitly set the state of the NCE pin. Instead, the
controller asserts it automatically as part of a
command/data access. Only "CE don't care"-type NAND chips
can be used in this manner.
