A generic option is too confusing when it's only affecting a single board.

Alternative suggestion:

  - make IMX8MP_DRAM_ECC a hidden symbol
  - select it from the protonic board
  - Turn the RAM timings of the protonic board into a header and
    replace #ifdef CONFIG_IMX8MP_DRAM_ECC with #ifdef USE_ECC
  - Add two source code files, that include the new header once with
    USE_ECC supported and once without
  - Add two entry points which only differ in what RAM timings are used

Also worth considering: adding the size of the region to be scrubbed or
the function doing the scrubbing into dram_timing_info.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Ahmad
