The v21 version of the NAND flash controller contains a Spare Area Size Register (SPAS) at offset 0x10. Its setting defaults to the maximum spare area size of 218 bytes. The size that is set in this register is used by the controller when it calculates the ECC bytes internally in hardware.
Usually, this register is updated from settings in the IIM fuses when the system is booting from NAND flash. For other boot media, however, the SPAS register remains at the default setting, which may not work for the particular flash chip on the board. The same goes for flash chips whose configuration cannot be set in the IIM fuses (e.g. chips with 2k sector size and 128 bytes spare area size can't be configured in the IIM fuses on imx25 systems). Set the SPAS register explicitly during the preset operation. Derive the register value from mtd->oobsize that was detected during probe by decoding the flash chip's ID bytes. While at it, rename the define for the spare area register's offset to NFC_V21_RSLTSPARE_AREA. The register at offset 0x10 on v1 controllers is different from the register on v21 controllers.
