no, we can't do it.
cmd/mtd.c can be used without CONFIG_MTD_RAW_NAND and I think your fix will
break mtd command for non-nand flashes.
spi-nand flashes directly registers itself with mtd layer (nand_register()
function is not used), so it much more simple use cmd/mtd than cmd/nand.

Maybe it's better accept my change and fix nand_erase_opts() instead ?
Bad block table is autocleaned in nanddev_erase() function.
