The legacy ecc layout is to use all the OOB area by computing the ecc strength
and ecc step size ourselves.

The patch "2febcdf mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info"
makes the gpmi to use the ECC info(ecc strength and ecc step size)
provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ecc layout
for the BCH , and use the new ecc layout, this brings a regression to us:
   We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ecc layout.

This patch fixes this issue by use the legacy ecc layout firstly, if it fails
we try to use the new ecc layout.
