    lantiq: nand: don't yield while holding spinlock
    
    The nand driver normally while waiting for the device to become ready;
    this is normally fine, but xway_nand holds the ebu_lock spinlock, and
    this can cause lockups if other threads which use ebu_lock are
    interleaved. Fix this by waiting instead of polling.
    
    This mainly showed up as crashes in ath9k_pci_owl_loader (see
    https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/9829 ), but turning on
    spinlock debugging shows this happening in other places too.
    
    This doesn't seem to measurably impact boot time.
    
    Tested on bt_homehub-v5a with 5.10 and 5.15.
