Also, fixed the following trailing white-spaces issue for the feature-removal-schedule.txt part: Applying: nanddump: warn when the start address is not page aligned /home/dedekind/git/mtd-utils/.git/rebase-apply/patch:17: trailing whitespace. nanddump should be consistent with nandwrite, and refuse accepting non page /home/dedekind/git/mtd-utils/.git/rebase-apply/patch:18: trailing whitespace. aligned start addresses. These dumps are most likely useless, since nandwrite /home/dedekind/git/mtd-utils/.git/rebase-apply/patch:19: trailing whitespace. won't write then at this location. Currently only a warning is issued to keep /home/dedekind/git/mtd-utils/.git/rebase-apply/patch:20: trailing whitespace. backward compatibility during a transition period. This should become an error warning: 4 lines add whitespace errors. And pushed, thanks.

nanddump should be consistent with nandwrite, which does not accept non page aligned start addresses. Thus, non page aligned dumps are useless. To ease migration only warn for now. Add the plan of making this an error to feature-removal-schedule.txt.
