[PATCH 4/4] 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.

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:
