Implementing the mtd_ooblayout_ops interface is the new way of exposing
ECC/OOB layout to MTD users.

When I add a printk in nand_ooblayout_free_lp, I get this values:
free offset 2 lenth 62

This seems wrong to me. It seems that nand_ooblayout_free_lp needs steps
to be set to calculate the free bytes correctly. With chip->ecc.steps =
1 the calculated values look good to me.

Actually, ecc->steps is calculated in nand_scan_tail(), but it happens
a bit too late (after mtd_ooblayout_count_freebytes() is called). I
reordered things in nand_scan_tail() to address that.

I quickly tried to run mtd_oobtest.ko test, however that faild:

Do you know what is going on here?

A bug in the mtd_ooblayout_set/get_bytes() implementation. Just fixed
it and pushed the changes on this branch [1].
The bugfix patches are here [2], [3].

Sorry for the inconvenience (I made some changes I thought were
trivial and didn't retest the whole thing, which is bad :-/), and thanks
for testing.
