Subject: [PATCH 4.18 061/228] mtd: rawnand: atmel: add module param to avoid using dma

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Rosin <peda@...ntia.se>

[ Upstream commit efc6362c6f8c1e74b340e2611f1b35e7d557ce7b ]

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.
