[PATCH 6/7] mtd: rawnand: sunxi: Update OOB layout to match hardware

When using the hardware ECC engine, the OOB data is made available in
the NFC_REG_USER_DATA registers, one 32-bit word per ECC step. Any
additional bytes are only accessible through raw reads and software
descrambling. For efficiency, and to match the vendor driver, ignore
these extra bytes.
