Subject: mtd: nand: mxc: Fix mxc_v1 ooblayout

From: Boris Brezillon <[email protected]>

commit 3bff08dffe3115a25ce04b95ea75f6d868572c60 upstream.

Commit a894cf6c5a82 ("mtd: nand: mxc: switch to mtd_ooblayout_ops") introduced a bug in the OOB layout description. Even if the driver claims that 3 ECC bytes are reserved to protect 512 bytes of data, it's actually 5 ECC bytes to protect 512+6 bytes of data (some OOB bytes are also protected using extra ECC bytes).

Fix the mxc_v1_ooblayout_{free,ecc}() functions to reflect this behavior.
