To optimize footprint of omap2-nand driver, selection of some ECC schemes
also require enabling following Kconfigs, in addition to setting appropriate
DT bindings
- Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_ECC_BCH        enables S/W based BCH ECC algorithm
- Kconfig:CONFIG_MTD_NAND_OMAP_BCH       enables H/W based BCH ECC algorithm

This patch
... does too many unrelated things in a single patch. I am not
comfortable taking large amounts of refactoring mixed in with Kconfig
and #ifdef changes. Can you please separate the steps you list below
into multiple patches and describe each one? I think you are doing many
trivial things, but it's difficult to separate the noise out from the
substantial changes.

Or, you can wait even longer until I have more time to kill :)
- removes OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_DEFAULT and OMAP_ECC_HAMMING_CODE_HW_ROMCODE
- separates the configurations for other ECC schemes
- fixes dependency issues based on Kconfig options
- updates ELM device detection in is_elm_present()
- cleans redundant code
