From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masah...@socionext.com> [ Upstream commit 79e0348c4e24fd1affdcf055e0269755580e0fcc ]
Drivers are supposed to set correct ecc->{size,strength,bytes} before calling nand_scan_tail(), but it does not complain about ecc->total bigger than oobsize. In this case, chip->scan_bbt() crashes due to memory corruption, but it is hard to debug. It would be kind to fail it earlier with a clear message.
