[PATCH 2/2] mtd: nand: omap2: Fix high memory dma prefetch transfer

From: "Cooper Jr., Franklin" <fcooper at ti.com>

Based on DMA documentation and testing using high memory buffer when doing
dma transfers can lead to various issues including kernel panics.

To workaround this simply use cpu copy.
