Interesting. Appears to still be unmerged.

Remove the #ifdef here and use IS_ENABLED() below.

For clarity, maybe define some macros? Something like
ECC_STRIDE SZ_2G
ECC_INLINE_SIZE ...
ECC_SCRUB_CHUNK ECC_STRIDE - ECC_INLINE_SIZE
and use that instead of the hex constants?

Wouldn't this panic on all non-ECC board entry points? Mixing boards
with inline ECC and without should continue to work.
See also below for naming the member for clarity.

The member name should either have ecc in it or there should be an extra
member that enables ecc, e.g.:
dram_timing::ecc_full_size
or
dram_timing::size
dram_timing::enable_ecc
or something along these lines.
