[v4] mtd/nand: don't use {read,write}_buf for 8-bit transfers

According to the Open NAND Flash Interface Specification (ONFI) Revision
3.1 "Parameters are always transferred on the lower 8-bits of the data
bus." for the Get Features and Set Features commands.

So using read_buf and write_buf is wrong for 16-bit wide nand chips as
they use I/O[15:0]. The Get Features command is easily fixed using 4
times the read_byte callback. For Set Features implement a new
overwritable callback "write_byte". Still I expect the default to work
just fine for all controllers and making it overwriteable was just done
for symmetry.

 - use a proper uint16_t instead of a 2 byte array to pass to chip->write_buf
   to fix endianess issue. Noticed by David Woodhouse. (This also gets rid of
   the Compound Literal that catched David's eye.)

Changes since v3, sent with
Message-id:1385500515-5376-1-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de (v3)

 - drop whitespace cleanup
 - support resetting to 16 bit width function on 2nd call of nand_set_defaults

Thanks for the changes. This patch looks good to me, and I think it can
go in regardless of our other x8/x16 buswidth solutions.

I don't have a good x16 setup yet, but I believe Ezequiel did some
testing on v3 (is this a "Tested-by"?). I'll probably try this out on my
x8 setups when I get a chance sometime this week.

Side issue: Huang, this is another potential pitfall for GPMI, as you
will again be performing DMA on the stack.

Huang: same here. So you see how this type of patch can easily trigger
the maintainability problems that are inherent when gpmi-nand does
things differently than other drivers?

No, I couldn't do a proper test of this one, although I remembered a
tested a branch based on this patch.

The problem was I couldn't find time to figure out how to test the GetFeatures
and SetFeatures command. Hints?

I can try to give it a test this weekend.

Browse the ONFI spec for something you should expect to be able to read
(for GET_FEATURES). Incidentally, I've been testing {GET,SET}_FEATURES
with my Micron MLC that need read-retry, but you might not have any
flash that support that.
