[PATCH 5/6] mtd: atmel_nand: enable Nand Flash Controller (NFC) write via sram

This patch enable writing nand flash via NFC SRAM. It will minimize the CPU
overhead. The SRAM write only support ECC_NONE and ECC_HW with PMECC.

To enable this NFC write by SRAM feature, you can add a string in dts under
NFC driver node.

This driver has been tested on SAMA5D3X-EK with JFFS2, YAFFS2, UBIFS and
mtd-utils.

Here is part of mtd_speedtest (writing test) result, compare with non-NFC
writing, it reduces %65 cpu load with loss %12 speed.

- commands use to test:
  # insmod /mnt/mtd_speedtest.ko dev=2 &
  # top -n 30 -d 1 | grep speedtest

- test result:

mtd_speedtest: MTD device: 2

v3 --> v4:
  - no blank line change.

v2 --> v3:
  - use a property of NFC node to enable/disable NFC write via sram.
