SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH v5 3/6] mtd: rawnand: meson: only expose unprotected user OOB bytes

As we discussed, I expect this commit to just change the OOB layout to
expose unprotected OOB bytes to the user, that is the only change this
commit should carry. If that does not work, you should add a
preparation patch.

This is always targeting the same area, so it looks strange to me.

TBH I don't get what you do here.

This looks like a static value, just save it somewhere instead of
recomputing it?

I don't like this logic with the "-1", it really hides what the
controller needs to do, if you need a helper to send a command, then
create that helper and give it a decent name.

Why this check?

You should instead propagate the oob_required field and check that
value I believe.

Unclear why you check ret here?

The first two bytes of OOB are reserved for the bad block markers. This
is not related to your controller.

This is not possible, see above.
