Automatically creating a BBT is the right thing to do if the NAND is
factory new. However when migrating from a barebox older than commit
v2020.03.0~28^2~1 ("mtd: nand-imx: Create BBT automatically when
necessary") on a used machine, this automatism is really bad because it
most likely marks the blocks containing the barebox image (and possibly
more) as bad. On such a system the vendor BBMs are gone, but it was
operated without that information before, so continuing to do so is a
sane option.
Add a light check for the NAND to be really pristine: If the first
block looks like containing a barebox image or a UBI refuse to create a
BBT.
