[PATCH v2] mtd: eLBC NAND: remove elbc_fcm_ctrl->oob_poi

From: Mike Hench <mhench at elutions.com>

The eLBC NAND driver currently follows up each program/write operation with a
read-back of the page, in order to [ostensibly] fill in ECC data for the
caller. However, the page address used for this read is always -1, so the read
will never work correctly.  Remove this useless (and potentially problematic)
block of code.

v2: elbc_fcm_ctrl->oob_poi is removed entirely, since this code block was the
only place it was actually used.
