[PATCH] mtd: nand-imx: repair reading the oob area

After sending the READOOB command the core (in nand_read_oob_std()) uses
the read_buf callback to fetch the result. So in the imx driver it is
necessary to emit the NFC_OUTPUT command to make the controller actually
read the requested data into the internal buffer and then copy the data
to the location where read_buf expects it.

This fixes reading from /dev/nand0.oob and also (somewhat) reading bad
block markers in the absence of a bad block table.

Hello,

I failed to find the commit that broke reading from /dev/nand0.oob but
failed to identify it. I think this bug is quite old. I didn't test, but
I think this was already broken in 2010.09.0 where the nand support was
moved from drivers/nand to drivers/mtd/nand. (This is where gitk output
ended :-)

Best regards
Uwe
