Both brcmand_write_oob_raw() and brcmnand_write_oob() use
brcmnand_write() that uses PROGRAM_PAGE cmd, means also programs data
areas and ECC when enabled  is always calculated on DATA+OOB.  since
in both cases we only want to modify OOB, data is always assumed to be
0xffs (means erased state). So as far as this api always is used on
the erased page it should be good. Are the sub-pages/oob areas read by
jffs2  also read without ecc enabled?. Just want to be sure that it
does not break any other utilities like nandwrite.
