[PATCH 2/3] UBI: Do not zero out EC and VID when multi-pass writes are not supported

[Pratyush Yadav]

For NOR flashes EC and VID are zeroed out before an erase is issued to
make sure UBI does not mistakenly treat the PEB as used and associate it
with an LEB.

But on some flashes, like the Cypress Semper S28 SPI NOR flash family,
multi-pass page programming is not allowed on the default ECC scheme.
This means zeroing out these magic numbers will result in the flash
throwing a page programming error.

Do not zero out EC and VID when multi-pass writes are not supported.
