So what happened before?  The default is at offset 8, which doesn't
conflict with the bad block marker.  It seems the actual issue is a
conflict with ECC?

And NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT wasn't defined before, so a better subject line
for this patch would be "nand/mxc: support flash-based BBT".

Won't veroffs = 6 conflict with ECC in the MXC_NFC_V1 case?

What about 8-bit small page support, in which case the bad block marker
is at offset 5?

Please remove those blank lines inside the ifdef.
