    mtd: nand: report ECC errors properly when reading BBT
    
    Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we
    should return a proper error status and print a more informative
    warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers
    of the BBT scan.
    
    Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit
    more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else"
    clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit.
    
    This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.
