No, that wouldn't work because the DT property already exists and it works to
enable the flash BBT when it's present.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/nand.txt

Of course, we can add a new no-nand-on-flash-bbt, but I really don't see the
point. Users can just put the property in all the devicetree board files where
it's needed.

And moreover, I don't want to change the default behavior of the driver; it's
better to allow to *add* a new feature, if such feature is desired.
Otherwise, users with some data in a flash's last blocks would be wiped and
replaced with the BBT.
