Sorry, I could not make myself understood because of my bad English..

What I wanted to say:
I know this patch has no impact,
but calling denali_send_pipeline_cmd() with transfer_spare=false looks weird.
So I want to fix it just in case.


I referred Denali(Cadence) NAND Flash Memory Controller User's Guide
and actually I am sure this patch has no impact.

The 3rd argument (transfer_spare) of denali_send_pipeline_cmd()
is don't care  if  its 4th argument to  is access_type=SPARE_ACCESS.

read_oob_data() function calls 
  denali_send_pipeline_cmd(denali, false, true, SPARE_ACCESS, DENALI_READ)

So, write_oob_data() function should call
  denali_send_pipeline_cmd(denali, false, true, SPARE_ACCESS, DENALI_WRITE)
for consistency.
