[PATCH] mtd/nand: don't use {read,write}_buf for 8-bit transfers

According to the Open NAND Flash Interface Specification (ONFI) Revision
3.1 "Parameters are always transferred on the lower 8-bits of the data
bus." for the Get Features and Set Features commands.

So using read_buf and write_buf is wrong for 16-bit wide nand chips as
they use I/O[15:0]. The Get Features command is easily fixed using 4
times the read_byte callback. For Set Features error out as there is no
write_byte callback.

Hello,

note this is only compile tested and I don't have a 16-bit wide nand, so I
don't even saw a failure.

The problem exists since commit

	7db03ec (mtd: add helpers to set/get features for ONFI nand)

which introduced the two functions.

Still I'd like to know how I can write a byte (or a sequence of bytes) as this
is necessary for locking the otp are of micron chips. Well, I could implement
it for 8-bit chips only, but this isn't very satisfying.

Do we need to add a write_byte callback to struct nand_chip? Or is there
a way to do write a byte that I'm just too blind to see?

Is this patch relevant for stable? Probably not!?

Best regards
Uwe
