Since v4.12, NAND subpage writes were causing a NULL pointer
dereference on OMAP platforms (omap2-nand) using OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW,
OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW and OMAP_ECC_BCH16_CODE_HW.

This is because for those ECC modes, omap_calculate_ecc_bch()
generates ECC bytes for the entire (multi-sector) page and this can
overflow the ECC buffer provided by nand_write_subpage_hwecc()
as it expects ecc.calculate() to return ECC bytes for just one sector.

However, the root cause of the problem is present much before
v4.12 but was not seen then as NAND buffers were being allocated
as one big chunck prior to
commit 3deb9979c731 ("mtd: nand: allocate aligned buffers if NAND_OWN_BUFFERS is unset")

Fix the issue by providing a OMAP optimized write_subpage() implementation.

Hm, it still looks wrong. omap_calculate_ecc_bch_multi() will generate
the same overflow when called by the core, or am I missing something?

In the current setup core will never call ecc.calculate as we're overriding every op
that can be used.

The thing is that omap driver code uses these hooks as is so I wasn't sure
if I should change the caller code to call the multi versions directly and fix these
hooks to single sector versions.

Alternatively, is it OK to set them to NULL?
