[PATCH v5 07/14] mtd: rawnand: check ONFI timings have been acked by the chip

Choosing ONFI timings when ->set/get_features() calls are supported
by the NAND chip is a matter of reading the chip's ONFI parameter page
and telling the chip the chosen mode (between all of the supported ones)
with ->set_feature().

Add a check on whether the chip "acked" the timing mode or not.

This can be a problem for NAND chips that do not follow entirely the
ONFI specification. These chips actually support other modes than
"mode 0", but either:
1/ do not update the timing mode register once a timing mode has been
   selected.
or
2/ do not support the TIMING_MODE featured and thus do not require users
   to change the timing mode at all.

These issues will be addressed in another patch that will add the
feature to overwrite NAND chips features within the parameter page, from
the NAND chip driver.
