There is currently a confusion between the ECC type/mode/provider
(eg. hardware, software, on-die or none) and the in-bad/out-of-band
layout which is only described for hardware engines (OOB first,
syndrome).

Create a new enumeration to describe this placement.

It's not really about in-band/out-of-band data placement (though it
also has an impact on it since free OOB bytes are sometimes protected
by ECC or placed next to it), more ECC bytes placement.

Since this is something you introduce, I'd recommend to change the
naming here:

s/NAND_ECC_SYNDROME_OOB_PLACEMENT/NAND_ECC_PLACEMENT_INTERLEAVED/
s/hw_syndrome/ecc-interleaved/
s/NAND_ECC_OOB_FIRST_PLACEMENT/NAND_ECC_PLACEMENT_FIRST/
s/hw_oob_first/ecc-first/

Maybe describe what the standard layout is (ECC placed at the end), and
mention that "not specified/default" means the driver can decide to put
the ECC/free-OOB bytes where he wants.

I realize the "ecc-" prefix is unneeded, so maybe just "interleaved"
and "first".
