[RESEND,5.10.x] mtd: spinand: Fix incorrect parameters for on-die ECC

From: Frieder Schrempf <frieder.schrempf@kontron.de>

The new generic NAND ECC framework stores the configuration and requirements
in separate places since commit 93ef92f6f422 (" mtd: nand: Use the new generic ECC object ").
In 5.10.x The SPI NAND layer still uses only the requirements to track the ECC
properties. This mismatch leads to values of zero being used for ECC strength
and step_size in the SPI NAND layer wherever nanddev_get_ecc_conf() is used and
therefore breaks the SPI NAND on-die ECC support in 5.10.x.

By using nanddev_get_ecc_requirements() instead of nanddev_get_ecc_conf() for
SPI NAND, we make sure that the correct parameters for the detected chip are
used. In later versions (5.11.x) this is fixed anyway with the implementation
of the SPI NAND on-die ECC engine.

So we would need to revert this commit, too. That would work for the SPI NAND layer, but might have implications on RAW NAND as it already uses the new generic ECC object with 'ctx.conf' and 'requirements'. At least I can't tell how this would affect the RAW NAND layer.

I missed that, you're right.
