No, you can't do that, because most NAND drivers simply don't support
NAND_ECC_ON_DIE, and will override chip->ecc.mode without even checking
its value. You should just fail if chip->ecc.mode != NAND_ECC_ON_DIE.

                if (chip->ecc.mode != NAND_ECC_ON_DIE) {
                        pr_err("On-die ECC can't be disabled\n");
                        return -EINVAL;
                }
