Ok.

No, I don't think so. wait_op_done() is called to wait for the interrupt
of the controller indicating a basic operation is done. A basic operation
can be that a command is being sent or an address byte has been sent to
the chip during an address cycle.

With this arbitrary example:

	struct nand_op_instr instrs[] = {
		NAND_OP_CMD(NAND_CMD_READ0, 0),
		NAND_OP_ADDR(4, addrs, 0),
		NAND_OP_CMD(NAND_CMD_READSTART, NAND_COMMON_TIMING_NS(conf, tWB_max)),
		NAND_OP_WAIT_RDY(NAND_COMMON_TIMING_MS(conf, tR_max),
				 NAND_COMMON_TIMING_NS(conf, tRR_min)),
		NAND_OP_DATA_IN(len, buf, 0),
	};

I'll call wait_op_done() once for NAND_CMD_READ0, four times for the NAND_OP_ADDR,
then once again for the NAND_CMD_READSTART command and four times (on i.MX27, once
per subpage) for the NAND_OP_DATA_IN operation. Calling wait_op_done() for the
NAND_OP_WAIT_RDY operation woul only timeout because there is no operation in flight
currently.
