Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mtd: rawnand: denali: remove denali_reset_banks()

In nand_scan_ident(), the controller driver resets every NAND chip.
This is done by sending NAND_CMD_RESET. The Denali IP provides
another way to do the equivalent thing; if a bit is set in the
DEVICE_RESET register, the controller sends the RESET command to
the corresponding device. denali_reset_banks() uses it to reset
all devices beforehand.

This redundant reset sequence was needed to know the actual number
of chips before calling nand_scan_ident(); if DEVICE_RESET fails,
there is no chip in that chip select. Then, denali_reset_banks()
sets denali->max_banks to the number of detected chips.

As commit f486287d2372 ("mtd: nand: denali: fix bank reset function
to detect the number of chips") explained, nand_scan_ident() issued
Set Features (0xEF) command to all CS lines, some of which may not be
connected with a chip. Then, the driver would wait for R/B# response,
which never happens.

This problem was solved by commit 107b7d6a7ad4 ("mtd: rawnand: avoid
setting again the timings to mode 0 after a reset"). In the current
code, nand_setup_data_interface() is called from nand_scan_tail(),
which is invoked after the chip detection.

Now, we can really remove the redundant denali_nand_banks() by simply
passing the maximum number of chip selects supported by this IP
(typically 4 or 8) to nand_scan(). Let's leave all the chip detection
process to nand_scan_ident().
