[PATCH] mtd: brcmnand: Workaround false ECC uncorrectable errors

[Simon Arlott]

Workaround false ECC uncorrectable errors by checking if the data
has been erased and the OOB data indicates that the data has been
erased. The v4.0 controller on the BCM63168 incorrectly handles
these as uncorrectable errors.

I don't know which version of the controller handles this scenario
correctly. I'm only able to test this in Hamming mode, so the BCH
version needs to be checked.

This code is quite complicated because the fact that either the data
buffer or the OOB data may not have been read from the controller, and
both of them are required to determine if the error is incorrect.
