Before making use of the ECC engines, we must retrieve them. Add the
boilerplate for the ones already available: software engines (Hamming
and BCH).

What if you want to instantiate SW ECC with a custom layout? Can't we
instead have a function that create a new engine dynamically?

struct nand_ecc_engine *
nand_ecc_create_sw_engine(struct nand_device* nand,
			  enum nand_ecc_algo algo,
			  struct mtd_ooblayout *layout);

Note that the conf is supposed to be passed afterwards, when the ctx is
created, so you should check nand->ecc.user_conf directly here.

Right now, for both sw engines, a default layout is applied if there is
none at engine initialization time.

Also, do we really need a "create" helper? I don't see what's created
there. Maybe you had something else in mind, and the
ecc_sw_xxx_get_engine() approach do not match what you expected, so
please tell me more about your idea, otherwise I don't see what a
nand_ecc_create_sw_engine() would bring.

I think this is what I do so I suspect the above sentence is not what
you actually meant?

The layout is part of the ECC engine properties, which I why I suggest
to create one engine instance per user and specify the layout to use
at instance creation time.

Sorry, I meant "should not". My point is, the user_conf should only be
passed at context creation time, and should not be modified in-place by
the caller, unless proven necessary.

There's really 2 different steps that I think need to be isolated:

1/ retrieve/create an ECC engine instance (SW, HW-controller-side,
   on-die)
2/ ask this ECC engine instance to create a context out of a user conf

Your user_conf seems 2 mix the 2 concepts: the engine to use, the
strength/step-size you expect.

No, I am not mixing things: the user might want a specific engine and a
strength/step-size. All of this is what the user requests.

In the ECC logic, I need to make a choice: I really need to check
what the user request is in order to choose the provider. I am not
changing anything here, just reading.

Later the chosen ECC engine will be prompted to create a context with
the rest of the user configuration.

I don't think it is relevant here to split this structure.
