Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mtd: rawnand: denali: remove ->dev_ready() hook

The Denali NAND IP has no way to read out the current signal level
of the R/B# pin. Instead, denali_dev_ready() checks if the R/B#
transition has already happened. (The INTR__INT_ACT interrupt is
asserted at the rising edge of the R/B# pin.) It is not a correct
way to implement the ->dev_ready() hook.

In fact, it has a drawback; in the nand_scan_ident phase, the chip
detection iterates over maxchips until it fails to find a homogeneous
chip. For the last loop, nand_reset() fails if no chip is there.

If ->dev_ready hook exists, nand_command(_lp) calls nand_wait_ready()
after NAND_CMD_RESET. However, we know denali_dev_ready() never
returns 1 unless there exists a chip that toggles R/B# in that chip
select. Then, nand_wait_ready() just ends up with wasting 400 msec,
in the end, shows the "timeout while waiting for chip to become ready"
warning.

Let's remove the mis-implemented dev_ready hook, and fallback to
sending the NAND_CMD_STATUS and nand_wait_status_ready(), which
bails out more quickly.
