[PATCH v4 2/5] mtd: rawnand: nand_base: Handle algorithm selection

For BRCMNAND with 1-bit BCH ECC (BCH-1) such as used on the
D-Link DIR-885L and DIR-890L routers, we need to explicitly
select the ECC like this in the device tree:

  nand-ecc-algo = "bch";
  nand-ecc-strength = <1>;
  nand-ecc-step-size = <512>;

This is handled by the Linux kernel but U-Boot core does
not respect this. Fix it up by parsing the algorithm and
preserve the behaviour using this property to select
software BCH as far as possible.

ChangeLog v3->v4:
- After a bug report from Tom, be more careful when
  assigning algorithm: only overwrite the chip default when
  something other than undefined was actually detected.
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Collect review tags from Michael and William
- Resend with the NorthStar enablement patches
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Drop pointless check for ecc_algo >= 0, it is always
  >= 0.
