[ 031/171] mtd: nand: gpmi: reset BCH earlier, too, to avoid NAND startup problems

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6f2a6a52560ad8d85710aabd92b7a3239b3a6b07 upstream.

It could happen (1 out of 100 times) that NAND did not start up
correctly after warm rebooting, so the kernel could not find the UBI or
DMA timed out due to a stalled BCH. When resetting BCH together with
GPMI, the issue could not be observed anymore (after 10000+ reboots). We
probably need the consistent state already before sending any command to
NAND, even when no ECC is needed. I chose to keep the extra reset for
BCH when changing the flash layout to be on the safe side.
