[RFC PATCH] mtd: mxc_nand: fix OOB corruption when page size > 2k

When page size is 4k, ecc.total is set to 8*9, and this causes
nand_write_page_hwecc() to read past the initialized part of the eccpos array,
which corrupts chip->oob_poi with bogus values from ecc_calc.

Fix this by creating a proper nand_ecclayout for 4k flashes.

I'm not sure if this is the right fix. The proposed nandv2_hw_eccoob_4k is just
a natural extension of nandv2_hw_eccoob_largepage. However, I'm not convinced
that this actually matches the hardware behaviour. Anyway, this fixed a real
OOB corruption in BBT, which is the only place I know of where the OOB area is
actually used.

Comments are welcome.
