Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: raw: atmel: add module param to avoid using dma

On a sama5d31 with a Full-HD dual LVDS panel (132MHz pixel clock) NAND
flash accesses have a tendency to cause display disturbances. Add a
module param to disable DMA from the NAND controller, since that fixes
the display problem for me.
