In the case of an erased (sub)page both the data and ECC are all 0xFF
bytes. This fails the normal ECC verification, as the computed ECC of
all-0xFF is not also 0xFF. The GPMC NAND driver attempted to detect
erased pages by checking that the ECC bytes are all-0xFF, but this had
two problems:
1) bitflips in the data were not corrected, so the data looked not-erased
2) bitflips in the ECC bytes were reported as uncorrectable ECC errors
The equivalent Linux driver [1] correctly handles this by counting the
number of 0-bits in the combination of data and ECC bytes. If the number
of 0-bits is less than the amount of bits correctable by the selected
ECC algorithm, then it is treated as an erased page with correctable
bitflips.
Implement similar, though simplified, logic in omap_correct_data_bch().

We only include <linux/mtd/rawnand.h> in <nand.h> for the forward
declaration of struct nand_chip, so do that directly. Then, include
<linux/mtd/rawnand.h> where required directly.

NAND flavors, like serial and parallel, have a lot in common and would
benefit to share code. Let's move raw (parallel) NAND specific code in a
raw/ subdirectory, to ease the addition of a core file in nand/ and the
introduction of a spi/ subdirectory specific to SPI NANDs.
