The libmtd library tries to obtain the available OOB size via the sysfs
with a fallback to the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl. For some devices (e.g. plat-ram),
the fallback path is always taken and prints an error message to stderr
since the ioctl fails.

This patch fixes the fallback path by suppressing the error message if
errno is set to EOPNOTSUPP (i.e. the device simply doesn't support that).

Fixes: a10353584f93 ("libmtd: Add support to access OOB available size")

Thanks for the fix. Works well for me on nand, spi-nor and plat-ram

By the way, the incoming email got flagged by my IS department. Not sure 
if that's a false positive or something you need to bring to the 
attention of whomever runs your email infrastructure. Let me know if you 
want a copy of the original.
