It must be 4 bytes alignment. i have met it previously when debugging
NFC driver on AXG platform, but it is not specified on spec. Now i am
confused that how to get the no aligned address "xe39a34b" when using
kmalloc; i think it should return the aligned address. doesn't it?

> NAND scan or initialization is divided into three stages:
nand_scan_ident->nand_attach->nand_scan_tail. info and data buffer which
depend on the result of nand_scan_ident are allocated on nand_attach; so
nand_scan_ident can not use the info buffer on meson_nfc_nand_chip.
Allocating a fixed size info buffer before nand_scan_ident and attach it
on the struct meson_nfc; Or considering not use dma for reading data
less than 8 bytes. Both can reduce kmalloc and kfree calling. Thanks.
