For reading and writing the bad block markers, spinand->oobbuf is currently used as a buffer for the marker bytes. During the underlying read and write operations to actually get/set the content of the OOB area, the content of spinand->oobbuf is reused and changed by accessing it through spinand->oobbuf and/or spinand->databuf.
This is a flaw in the original design of the SPI NAND core and at the latest from 13c15e07eedf ("mtd: spinand: Handle the case where PROGRAM LOAD does not reset the cache") on, it results in not having the bad block marker written at all, as the spinand->oobbuf is cleared to 0xff after setting the marker bytes to zero.
To fix it, we now just store the two bytes for the marker on the stack and let the read/write operations copy it from/to the page buffer later.

Currently when marking a block, we use spinand_erase_op() to erase the block before writing the marker to the OOB area. Doing so without waiting for the operation to finish can lead to the marking failing silently and no bad block marker being written to the flash.
In fact we don't need to do an erase at all before writing the BBM. The ECC is disabled for raw accesses to the OOB data and we don't need to work around any issues with chips reporting ECC errors as it is known to be the case for raw NAND.
