Yes. it should return all the OOB data. i make a mistake on raw read and
there is wrong code in meson_nfc_read_page_raw().
meson_nfc_get_data_oob(nand, buf, oob_buf);
changed to:
if (oob_required)
memcpy(oob_buf, buf + mtd->writesize, mtd->oobsize)
for the ECC mode, i define the meson_ooblayout_ops in host driver.
