I put a warning in order we fix drivers instead of a silent failure.

The omap driver was fixed in the same series with
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/88551 and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/88549

For drivers that can't support ONFI, I don't know what to do.
May we should be replace the WARN_ON by a printk and early return.
