After applying series 1-6 (as well as with 1-7), my just posted LPC32xx
NAND drivers have problems mounting the MTD (basically, NAND page reads,
DMA dev to mem from NAND controller internal buffers).

* SLC driver says:

lpc32xx-nand 20020000.flash: FIFO not empty!
lpc32xx-nand 20020000.flash: FIFO held data too long
lpc32xx-nand 20020000.flash: DMA FIFO failure

* MLC driver just gets bad data resulting in detected bad blocks.

Without the patches, they work as tested.

Any hints, before I find the time to sort out all the details with
amba-pl08x?

Thanks,

Roland
