mtd: nand: Add support for reading ooblayout from device tree

By specifying the properties "mtd-oob-ecc" and "mtd-oob-free", it is
now possible to specify from devicetree where the ECC data is located
inside the OOB region.

Why would we want to do that? I mean, ECC/free regions are ECC
controller dependent (and NAND chip dependent for the OOB size part),
so there's no reason to describe it in the DT. And more importantly,
people are likely to get it wrong.

I'm curious, why do you need that?

Regards,

Boris
