raw read/write was recently added to mainline U-Boot:
commit fb3659ac422801ea18f36ef62926df70beeada4c
Author: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com>
Date: Fri Sep 23 15:43:10 2011 +0200
NAND: Add nand read.raw and write.raw commands
These commands should work around various "hardware" ECC and BCH
methods.

As for why the biterr patch wasn't merged, it's because nobody ever
resubmitted with a version that fixed the issues raised in review and
applies to the current tree.
