mtd: nand: report ECC errors properly when reading BBT
Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we should return a proper error status and print a more informative warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers of the BBT scan. Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else" clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit. This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.
