Josh Wu 1ae9c092ef mtd: atmel_nand: enable Nand Flash Controller (NFC) read data via sram
NFC has embedded sram which can use to transfer data. This patch enable reading
nand flash via NFC SRAM. It will minimize the CPU overhead.

This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK with JFFS2, YAFFS2, UBIFS and
mtd-utils.

Here puts the part of mtd_speedtest (read test) result as following:
Compare with non-NFC mtd_speedtest result, reading will reduce %45 cpu load
with increase %80 speed.

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

- test result:
