Some controllers can access the factory bad block marker from OOB only
when they read it in raw mode. When ECC is enabled, these controllers
discard reading/writing bad block markers, preventing access to them
altogether.

The bbt driver assumes MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB when scanning for bad blocks.
This results in the nand driver's ecc->read_oob() op to be called, which
works with ECC enabled.

Create a new BBT option flag that tells nand_bbt to force the mode to
MTD_OPS_RAW. This would result in the correct op being called for the
underlying nand controller driver.
