Hi Hong,

The name dma_ready implies that it is used as a flag to indicate when
the dma engine is ready to do a transfer, but you are using it to
indicate that the host supports dma. Would be more clear to call it
'use_dma'.

You can make the function below a bit more concise:

Print a warning here? The other failures all have warning messages.

Return a proper error code.

In atmel_nand_probe you have the following:

    if (host->board->bus_width_16) {    /* 16-bit bus width */
        nand_chip->options |= NAND_BUSWIDTH_16;
        nand_chip->read_buf = atmel_read_buf16;
        nand_chip->write_buf = atmel_write_buf16;
    } else {
        nand_chip->read_buf = atmel_read_buf;
        nand_chip->write_buf = atmel_write_buf;
    }

So DMA is not supported when the bus width is 16? Possibly you just want
to use atmel_[read|write]_buf in all cases?

host->io_phys can be replaced by a stack variable in atmel_nand_probe,
or just (dma_addr_t)mem->start, since it is only used in this function.

Nitpick: don't have blank lines between a function call and its error check.

Nitpick: the else should have braces since the if statement does.
