Rework the pxa3xx_nand driver to allow using functions exported by the
nand framework to detect the flash and to configure the timings.

Because this driver supports some non-ONFI devices, we also keep the
custom timing setup of this driver so these devices won't break.

Antoine,

there are some issues with this patch.

How about we get rid of the driver specific timings completely
and pick up the best onfi timing match instead? The nand_ids table
allows for a default_onfi_timing parameter even if onfi itself is
not supported.

For generic flash, i.e. no specific entry in the nand_ids table,
we either choose onfi mode 0 (most conservative) or an even slower
one.

While tWH_min is the minimum hold time of WE_n and tWP_min
the minimum pulse width, the sum of the two rounded values
may well exceed the minimum WE_n cycle width tWC_min.

How about we do below instead?

u32 tWH_min = DIV_ROUND_UP(t->tWH_min, 1000);
u32 tWP_min = DIV_ROUND_UP(t->tWC_min - tWH_min, 1000);
(note the missing t-> in front of tWH_min)

Well, tRST (max reset duration) is not tR (max page read
time) but much higher. I see that the onfi timings do not
directly encode tR but have extra timings for tPROG, tBERS,
tR, and tCCS.

I guess we'll have to amend sdr_timings for non-onfi devices
then.

Also, if you check the armada370 functional spec, there is
several meanings for tR register. Currently, pxa3xx nfc driver
does not use WAIT_MODE which is supported for NFCv2 (non-pxa3xx
SoCs). That will allow the controller to use R/Bn signal instead.

Anyways, timing conversion is already tricky enough, let's start
with 1:1 conversion and add additional modes later.

Is mode really a bitmap? If so, the name of onfi_get_async_timing_mode()
is _very_ misleading. I would expect it to return the highest supported
mode number instead of a bitmap of the supported modes.

I'll have a deeper look into the patches later.
