Boris Brezillon 111573ccd8 mtd: atmel_nand: check NFC busy flag by HSMC_SR instead of NFC cmd regs 
Currently the driver read NFC command registers to get NFC busy flag.
Actually this flag also can be get by reading HSMC_SR register.

Use the read NFC command registers need mapping a huge memory region.
To save the mapped memory region, we change to check NFC busy flag by
reading HSMC_SR register.

Wu, Josh 50e04e2f0c mtd: atmel_nand: add NFC status error check 
Add a new function to read the NFC status. Meantime, this function will
check if there is any errors in NFC.

Josh Wu 7dc37de7d5 mtd: atmel_nand: add Nand Flash Controller (NFC) support 
Nand Flash Controller (NFC) can handle automatic transfers, sending the
commands and address cycles to the NAND Flash.

To use NFC in this driver, user needs to add NFC child node in nand flash
driver. The NFC child node includes NFC's compatible string and regiters
of the address and size of NFC command registers, NFC registers (embedded
in HSMC) and NFC SRAM.
Also user need to set up the HSMC irq, which use to check whether nfc
command is finish or not.

This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK board with JFFS2, YAFFS,
UBIFS and mtd-utils.

I put the part of the mtd_speedtest result here for your information.
>From the mtd_speedtest, we can see the NFC will reduce the %50 of cpu load
when writing nand flash. No change when reading.
In the meantime, the speed will be slow about %8.

- commands use to test:
    #insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 &
    #top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest

- test result:
