Subject: [PATCH v5 07/23] mtd: nand: denali: do not propagate NAND_STATUS_FAIL to waitfunc()

Currently, the error handling of denali_write_page(_raw) is a bit
complicated.  If the program command fails, NAND_STATUS_FAIL is set
to the driver internal denali->status, then read out later by
denali_waitfunc().

We can avoid it by exploiting the nand_write_page() implementation.
If chip->ecc.write_page(_raw) returns negative code (i.e. -EIO), it
errors out immediately.  This gives the same result as returning
NAND_STATUS_FAIL from chip->waitfunc.  In either way, -EIO is
returned to the upper MTD layer.
