[PATCH v3 4/5] mtd: nand: support Micron READ RETRY

Micron provides READ RETRY support via the ONFI vendor-specific
parameter block (to indicate how many read-retry modes are available)
and the ONFI {GET,SET}_FEATURES commands with a vendor-specific feature
address (to support reading/switching the current read-retry mode).

The recommended sequence is as follows:

  1. Perform PAGE_READ operation
  2. If no ECC error, we are done
  3. Run SET_FEATURES with feature address 89h, mode 1
  4. Retry PAGE_READ operation
  5. If ECC error and there are remaining supported modes, increment the
     mode and return to step 3. Otherwise, this is a true ECC error.
  6. Run SET_FEATURES with feature address 89h, mode 0, to return to the
     default state.

This patch implements the chip->set_read_retry() callback for
Micron and fills in the chip->read_retries.

Tested on Micron MT29F32G08CBADA, which supports 8 read-retry modes.

The Micron vendor-specific table was checked against the datasheets for
the following Micron NAND:

Needs retry   Cell-type    Part number          Vendor revision    Byte 180
-----------   ---------    ----------------     ---------------    ------------
No            SLC          MT29F16G08ABABA      1                  Reserved (0)
No            MLC          MT29F32G08CBABA      1                  Reserved (0)
No            SLC          MT29F1G08AACWP       1                  0
Yes           MLC          MT29F32G08CBADA      1                  08h
Yes           MLC          MT29F64G08CBABA      2                  08h

v2 -> v3: - split out from the previous patch
	  - support Micron via replaceable vendor-specific/flash-specific
	    callback
	  - add vendor-revision check (I've only seen Micron with vendor
	    revision >= 1)

Note that I intentionally *haven't* accomodated a DMA-able buffer for the ONFI
set-features command, so GPMI NAND may have problems with this.
