Second one is achieved below

Even for sync mode, setting async mode initially is required

Intention of this patch is to setup GPMC async mode before driver starts
its job so that reconfiguring GPMC needs to be to be done only once (this
helps in avoiding issues when it has to work with gpmc driver).

With the existing code, set_async was done as part of set_sync, hence
requiring GPMC to be configured twice after driver takes control, with
your suggestion too, GPMC would have to be configured twice.
