Now that the misleading mix between ECC engine type and OOB placement
has been addressed, add a new enumeration to properly define ECC types
(also called provider or mode).

Same comment as for the NAND_ECC_INVALID addition: if you don't have an
entry in nand_ecc_engine_providers for this INVALID case, it's probably
better to define it to -1.
+	NAND_NO_ECC_ENGINE,
+	NAND_SOFT_ECC_ENGINE,
+	NAND_HW_ECC_ENGINE,
I'd rename that one into

	NAND_CONTROLLER_ECC_ENGINE,

HW is a bit too vague.
+	NAND_ON_DIE_ECC_ENGINE,
I also find it clearer when the same prefix is used:

	NAND_ECC_ENGINE_INVALID = -1,
	NAND_ECC_ENGINE_NONE = 0,
	NAND_ECC_ENGINE_SOFT,
	NAND_ECC_ENGINE_CONTROLLER,
	NAND_ECC_ENGINE_ON_DIE,

Looks good otherwise. Feel free to ignore my comments if you disagree.
