When ECC is enabled, these controllers discard reading/writing bad block markers, preventing access to them altogether. The bbt driver assumes MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB when scanning for bad blocks. This results in the nand driver's ecc->read_oob() op to be called, which works with ECC enabled. Create a new BBT option flag that tells nand_bbt to force the mode to MTD_OPS_RAW. This would result in the correct op being called for the underlying nand controller driver.
