I suggest giving a name which indicates that we are actually emulating
an SLC. Maybe MTD_SLC_EMULATION?
Some MLC NANDs support SLC mode in hardware, MTD_MLC_IN_SLC_MODE reads like
this feature.

Can we please have a helper for this? You use this formula many times.

The name is misleading. We don't do OOB IO on a SLC NAND,
we emulate SLC.
