From: OuYang ZhiZhong ouyzz@yealink.com
commit 6de564939e14327148e31ddcf769e34105176447 upstream.
Section was not properly computed. The value of OOB region definition is always ECC section 0 information in the OOB area, but we want to get all the ECC bytes information, so we should call mtd_ooblayout_ecc(mtd, section++, &oobregion) until it returns -ERANGE.
