At first, I thought this was necessary for me,
but I realized it was my misunderstanding.


Please let me explain one more.

See commit 3158fa0e739615769cc047d2428f30f4c3b6640e.

Prior to that commit, READID waited for #R/B transition,
it was wrong, so I fixed it.

However, it dropped the delay completely.
If somebody was implicitly relying on the delay of chip->dev_ready,
the first byte might be read out before the valid data
is available.

This was motivation of v1, where inserted ndelay(200)
unconditionally.

If you drop 1/2, please let me do v3.

V2 mentions NAND_WAIT_TWHR, this is strange.
