[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: Fix problem with NAND_CMD_RNDOUT (05h-E0h)

From: Bacem Daassi <Bacem.Daassi at spansion.com>

Though the NAND_CMD_READ "Page Read" command expects the full address footprint
(2bytes for column address + 3bytes for row address).
But once the page is loaded into the read buffer, NAND_CMD_RNDOUT (05h-E0h) also
called "Random Data Output" command expects to see only the column address that
should be addressed within the already loaded page present in read buffers.
Only 2 address cycles with ALE active should be provided between the 05h and E0h
So expected sequence for NAND_CMD_RNDOUT is
	<05h> <column-addr-byte1> <column-address-byte2> <E0h>

Though most NAND Devices mentioned above tend to work even if extra cycles of
page-address is issued between <05h> .... <E0h> command. But some Spansion and
Hynix devices break on this non-compliance.
The same issue has been reported by Bacem Daassi
  http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/t/259699.aspx

This patch fixes nand_command for all vendors devices as datasheet of all
devices expect same sequence.
