[PATCH] mtd: brcmnand: clean up flash cache for parameter pages

The read_byte() handling for accessing the flash cache has some awkward
swapping being done in the read_byte() function. Let's just make this a
byte array, and do the swapping with the word-level macros during the
initial buffer copy.

This is just a refactoring patch, with no (intended) functional change.

I wanted to get this out there as a proper patch, since there was some
confusion on the previous thread in which this appeared.

This does *not* fix the bug reported by Cyrille in the thread "mtd: brcmnand:
Fix NAND_CMD_PARAM byte order". There is a candidate patch which fixes this:

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/535330/

But I'm awaiting a better explanation from Broadcom folks before I
respin/accept anything like that.
