[PATCH v1 2/2] mtd: rawnand: add nand-skip-bbtscan and nand-no-bbm-quirk DT options

A NAND chip can contain a different data format then the MTD framework
expects in the erase blocks for the Bad Block Table(BBT).
Result is a failed probe, while nothing wrong with the hardware.
Some MTD flags need to be set to gain access again.

Skip the automatic BBT scan with the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN option
so that the original content is unchanged during the driver probe.
The NAND_NO_BBM_QUIRK option allows us to erase bad blocks with
the nand_erase_nand() function and the flash_erase command.

Add nand-skip-bbtscan and nand-no-bbm-quirk Device Tree options,
so the user has the "freedom of choice" by neutral
access mode to read and write in whatever format is needed.
