[PATCH v3 2/4] mtd: mxc_nand: limit the size of used oob

[Baruch Siach]

For 4k pages the i.MX NFC hardware uses no more than 218 bytes for 8bit ECC
data. Larger oobsize confuses the logic of copy_spare(). Limit the size of used
oob size to avoid that.

v2:
   * Move used_oobsize into struct mxc_nand_host, and initialize it from
     _probe() (Uwe Kleine-König)
   * Add a more details to in-code comment
