When selecting CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE=y and doing simple write tests the following kernel crash happens:

root@freescale /$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd0 bs=128k count=1

The NULL pointer dereference that happens in nand_verify_buf() is due to the missing 
gpmi_verify_buf implementation in the gpmi-nand driver.

Implement gpmi_verify_buf() to prevent this crash.

Definitelly should go for stable too.

It seems this will waste a page memory when the nand page is 4K.
So it's better to allocate the verify_buf dynamically whose size is
the mtd->writesize.
