I was debating on this too but I don't see option because there is no 
other hooks after nanddev_init to set the mtd->oobsize as far as I can 
see and I see there were similar fixes for other controller drivers 
after the nand device object init was committed, for example:
Fixes: 629a442cad5f ("mtd: rawnand: Fill memorg during detection")

I will think through this again but I am open to any suggestion.
