mtd: nand: add ->exec_op() implementation
Introduce a new interface to instruct NAND controllers to send specific NAND operations. The new interface takes the form of a single method called ->exec_op(). This method is designed to replace ->cmd_ctrl(), ->cmdfunc() and ->read/write_byte/word/buf() hooks. ->exec_op() is passed a set of instructions describing the operation to execute. Each instruction has a type (ADDR, CMD, DATA, WAITRDY) and delay. The delay is here to help simple controllers wait enough time between each instruction, advanced controllers with integrated timings control can ignore these delays. Controllers that natively support complex operations (operations formed of several instructions) can use the NAND op parser infrastructure. This infrastructure allows controller drivers to describe the sequence of instructions they support (called nand_op_pattern) and a hook for each of these supported sequences. The core then tries to find the best match for a given NAND operation, and calls the associated hook. Various other helpers are also added to ease NAND controller drivers writing. This new interface should ease support of vendor specific operations in that NAND manufacturer drivers now have a way to check if the controller they are connected to supports a specific operation, and complain or refuse to probe the NAND chip when that's not the case.
