mtd: nand: ecc-hamming: Clarify the logic around rp17
This code has been written in 2008 and is fine, but in order to keep robots happy, I think it's time to change a little bit this code just to clarify the different possible values of eccsize_mult. Indeed, this variable may only take the value 1 or 2 because step_size, in the case of the software Hamming ECC engine may only be 256 or 512. Depending on the value of eccsize_mult, an extra rp17 variable is set, or not and triggers the following warning: smatch warnings: ecc_sw_hamming_calculate() error: uninitialized symbol 'rp17'. As highlighted by Dan Carpenter, if the only possible values for eccsize_mult are 1 and 2, then the code is fine, but "it's hard to tell just from looking". So instead of shifting step_size, let's use a ternary condition to assign to eccsize_mult the only two possible values and clarify the driver's logic. Now that the situation is clarified for humans, ensure rp17 is initialized to 0 to keep compilers and robots silent as well.
