This seems like a step backward to me. The GPMC interrupt enable
register can do edge detection on the wait pins, how is that
limited to NAND?

Further, let's not start mixing GPMC hardware module register
access with the NAND driver register access. They can be clocked
separately. And bugs in the NAND driver can cause issues in other
GPMC using drivers.
