[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: Mark reserved blocks

Reserved blocks are used for storing bad block tables. With "nand bad" command, these reserved blocks are shown as bad blocks. This is leading to confusion when compared with Linux bad blocks. Hence, display "bbt reserved" when printing reserved blocks with "nand bad" command.
To acheive this, return 2 which represents reserved from nand_isbad_bbt() instead of 1 in case of reserved blocks and catch it in cmd/nand.c.
"nand bad" command display's hexadecimal numbers, so add "0x" prefix.
Example log will show up as below.
ZynqMP> nand bad
Device 0 bad blocks: 0x00400000 0x16800000 0x16c00000 0x17000000 0x3d800000 0x3e400000 0xe8400000 0xff000000 (bbt reserved) 0xff400000 (bbt reserved) 0xff800000 (bbt reserved) 0xffc00000 (bbt reserved) 0x116800000 0x116c00000 0x1ff000000 (bbt reserved) 0x1ff400000 (bbt reserved) 0x1ff800000 (bbt reserved) 0x1ffc00000 (bbt reserved)

I looked at u-boot-nand-flash git repo and I can't see it. Where's the repo where this is merged?
