mtd: nand: force drivers to explicitly send READ/PROG commands
The core currently send the READ0 and SEQIN+PAGEPROG commands in
nand_do_read/write_ops(). This is inconsistent with
->read/write_oob[_raw]() hooks behavior which are expected to send
these commands.
There's already a flag (NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS) to inform the core
that a specific controller wants to send the READ/SEQIN+PAGEPROG
commands on its own, but it's an opt-in flag, and existing drivers are
unlikely to be updated to pass it.
Moreover, some controllers cannot dissociate the READ/PAGEPROG commands
from the associated data transfer and ECC engine activation, and
developers have to hack things in their ->cmdfunc() implementation to
handle such complex cases, or have to accept the perf penalty of sending
twice the same command.
To address this problem we are planning on adding a new interface which
is passed all information about a NAND operation (including the amount
of data to transfer) and replacing all calls to ->cmdfunc() to calls to
this new ->exec_op() hook. But, in order to do that, we need to have all
->cmdfunc() calls placed near their associated ->read/write_buf/byte()
calls.
Modify the core and relevant drivers to make NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS
the default case, and remove this flag.
