The fields bb_per_lun and blocks_per_lun are useful determining the
number of bad blocks a MTD needs to allocate. How they are set will
depend on if the chip is ONFI, JEDEC or a fuill-id entry in the nand_ids
table.

Two things I don't like here:
- you use little-endian types, while it should use native endianness.
  Make it easier, and just declare those fields as int (or unsigned
  int).
- you stick to the ONFI spec, while I'd prefer to see the term lun
  replaced by die, and I wonder if we don't already have a field
  storing the number of blocks per die (I might be wrong though).

I looked for an existing field for number of blocks per die and could not find
it. Perhaps you were remembering chipsize? or numchips? I looked at how they
were calculated and chipsize is a multiple of (blocks_per_lun * lun_count) so
it can't be used to find blocks_per_lun without storing lun_count anyways.
Let me know if you think I missed something.

Probably not, we so many fields in the nand_chip and mtd_info struct
that I don't remember which ones we are missing ;-).
