[PATCH v7 1/2] schemas: memory: Add ECC properties

From: Simon Glass
Date: Tue Sep 26 2023 - 15:42:51 EST


Some memories provide ECC detection and/or correction. For software which
wants to check memory, it is helpful to see which regions provide this
feature.

Add this as a property of the /memory nodes, since it presumably follows
the hardware-level memory system.

Changes in v7:
- Drop unnecessary |
- Add a blank line between properties

Changes in v6:
- Use a number of bits instead of a string property
- Fix inidcates typo

Changes in v5:
- Redo to make this property specific to ECC
- Provide properties both for detection and correction

Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to update the /memory nodes
