It took a couple months to update this series, but finally here is v2.
(v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/26/144 )

This driver includes many problems.

One of the biggest one is a bunch of hard-coded parameters.  This IP
has many parameters that can be customized when a delivery RTL is
generated.  However, this driver was upstreamed by Intel, with
Intel parameters hard-coded.  Later, Altera added denali_dt.c to use
this driver for embedded boards, but they did not fix the code in
denali.c  So, this driver has never worked.  Even some DT bindings
actually turned out wrong.

There are more problems: [1] The driver just retrieves the OOB area as-is
whereas the controller uses syndrome page layout. [2] Many NAND chip
specific parameters are hard-coded in the driver. [3] ONFi devices are
not working  [4] It can not read Bad Block Marker

This patch series intends to solve those problems.

Since v1, here are more fixes/improvements:
 - Fix raw/oob callbacks for syndrome page layout
 - Implement setup_data_interface() callback
 - Fix/implement more commands for ONFi devices
 - Allow to skip the driver internal bounce buffer
 - Support PIO in case DMA is not supported
 - Switch from ->cmdfunc over to ->cmd_ctrl
