1) raw read can read out the whole page data 2k+64B, decided by the len 
in the controller raw read command:
	cmd = (len & GENMASK(5, 0)) | scrambler | DMA_DIR(dir);
after that, the missing oob bytes(not used) can be copied from 
meson_chip->data_buf. so the implementation of meson_nfc_read_page_raw() 
is like this if need.
	{
		......
		meson_nfc_read_page_sub(nand, page, 1);
		meson_nfc_get_data_oob(nand, buf, oob_buf);
		oob_len = (nand->ecc.bytes + 2) * nand->ecc.steps;
		memcpy(oob_buf + oob_len, meson_chip->data_buf + oob_len, mtd->oobsize 
- oob_len);

	}
2) In ECC mode, the controller can't bring back the missing OOB bytes. 
it can read out the user bytes and ecc bytes per meson_ooblayout_ops define.
