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.
