Please use the mtdcore.c's helpers
(mtd_ooblayout_set/get_data/free/ecc/bytes).
Also, what are you trying to discriminate with the return code of the
function? Shouldn't this function "always" work?

As I told you, this helper takes "maid data" then "spare area" then
"ecc bytes". The names are pretty important here as you want to avoid
checking the spare OOB bytes on purpose, so maybe you could have more
meaningful names and call "ecc" instead of "oob" the ecc region?
