Avoid sending unnecessary READ commands to the chip.

This patch is taken from git://projects.qi-hardware.com/qi-kernel.git
branch jz-3.16. From [1] and [2] it can be seen that the patch author
thinks this can be sent upstream but it never happened so far. This
patch is used in OpenWRT as seen from [3].

I have only compile tested the patch.

Sounds reasonable, but it's likely to conflict with something I'd like
to queue for 4.16 [1]. I'll rebase this patch on nand/next once the
->exec_op() series is merged. Don't hesitate to ping me if I forget.

Boris

Okay. I will remind you if required.

There is another patch used in OpenWRT at [1]. Do you mind to have a
look at it and take that if it is useful? I don't see a point in me
sending it as a RFC as I am not contributing anything to it other than
noticing its existence.

Yep, it makes sense to have that one applied too, but this is pretty
much the same problem: it will conflict with the ->exec_op() rework.

Can you please send it to the ML so I can track it in patchwork and
respin it when ->exec_op() is out. I'll also need someone owning a HW
using NAND_ECC_HW_OOB_FIRST to test the changes. Do you have such HW?

True. I did realise that.

Sure.

I am looking at OpenWRT and trying to post patches that I feel useful.
I do not have access to JZ4740.

Grepping over driver/mtd/nand I can find that only JZ4740 and DaVinci
supports this. When I last searched I could not find people with
access to Ingenic JZ4740 SoC (which is targeted by arch/mips/xburst in
OpenWRT). I can check with people who have newer SoC from Ingenic if
that has the required hardware.

Please let me know how to test that patch if I could find someone who
can test that patch.

Thanks,
PrasannaKumar

I could not get that patch compiled yet. I will revisit it next week
and send the patch.
