Hm, it's even worse than I thought. The model name does not include the
-ITE suffix (E means ECC can't be disabled), which means we have no way
to detect the version with forced on-die ECC.

I see 2 solutions to this problem:
1/ Bean provides us a solution to reliably detect when ECC can be
   de-actived and when it can't
2/ We only ever expose 64 bytes of OOB to the user and consider that
   ECC can be disabled, even if it can't in reality

I wonder when NAND vendors will care about this sort of stuff. It's
really a mess to deal with all these quirks, and it's even worse when
we have no way to detect when the quirks are needed and when they're
not. Device detection is broken in so many ways, and each new chip
brings with it its own brokenness.
