mtd: nand: omap: fix sw->hw->sw ecc switch
When switching ecc mode, omap_select_ecc_scheme() assigns the appropriate values into the current nand chip's ecc.layout struct. This is done under the assumption that the struct exists only to store values, so it is OK to overwrite it, but there is at least one situation where this assumption is incorrect: When switching to 1 bit hamming code sw ecc, the job of assigning layout data is outsourced to nand_scan_tail(), which simply assigns into ecc.layout a pointer to an existing struct prefilled with the appropriate values. This struct doubles as both data and layout definition, and therefore shouldn't be overwritten, but on the next switch to hardware ecc, this is exactly what's going to happen. The next time the user switches to software ecc, they're going to get a messed up ecc layout. Prevent this and possible similar bugs by explicitly using the private-to-omap_gpmc.c omap_ecclayout struct when switching ecc mode.
