    uboot-lantiq: danube: fix hanging lzma kernel uncompression
    
    At least since gcc 7.3.0 (OpenWrt 18.06) lwr/lwl are used in the
    assembly of LzmaProps_Decode. While the decission made by the compiler
    looks perfect fine, it triggers some obscure hang on lantiq danube-s
    v1.5 with MX29LV640EB NOR flash chips.
    
    Only if the offset 1 is used, the hang can be observed. Using any other
    offset works fine:
    
      lwl s0,0(a1) - s0 == 0x6d000080
      lwl s0,1(a1) - hangs
      lwl s0,2(a1) - s0 == 0x0080xxxx
      lwl s0,3(a1) - s0 == 0x80xxxxxx
    
    It isn't clear whether it is a limitation of the flash chip, the EBU or
    something else.
    
    Force 8bit reads to prevent gcc optimizing the read with lwr/lwl
    instructions.
