Commit 271707b1d817 ("mtd: nand: denali: max_banks calculation
changed in revision 5.1") supported the new encoding of the "n_banks"
bits of the "features" register, but there is an unfortunate case
not covered by that commit.

Panasonic (its System LSI Business Division is now Socionext) bought
a couple of versions of this IP.  The IP released for Panasonic
around Feb. 2012 is revision 5 and uses the old encoding for n_banks
(2 << n_banks).  While the one released around Nov. 2012 is also
revision 5, but it uses the new encoding (1 << n_banks).

The revision register cannot distinguish these two incompatible
hardware.  I guess this IP series is not well-organized.  I could not
find any solution but giving max_banks from DT property.

This commit works around the problem by allowing DT to set the
max_banks forcibly.  Of course, this DT property can be optional if
the auto detection based on the hardware registers works well.

Looks like we should take our time for discussion
to find out which is better, a new compatible string or a new DT property.

The discussion is happening in v1 thread.
