Indeed, it's hack-ish.

Why don't we change that instead of patching the qcom driver to guess
when the core tries to mark a block bad? If you're afraid of breaking
existing drivers that might rely on the "write/read BBM in non-raw
mode" solution (I'm sure some drivers are), you can always add a new
flag in chip->options (NAND_ACCESS_BBM_IN_RAW_MODE) and only use raw
accessors when this flag is set.
