[PATCH v2 4/4] mtd: rawnand: fsmc: Fix timing computation

Under certain circumstances, the timing settings calculated by
the FSMC NAND controller driver were inaccurate.
These settings lead to incorrect data reads or fallback to
mode 0 timings depending on NAND chip used.

The timing computation did not take into account the following
constraint given in SPEAr3xx reference manual:
  twait >= tCEA - tset*TCLK + TOUTDEL + TINDEL

Enhance the timings calculation by taking into account this
additional constraint.

The change has no impact on slow timing mode such as mode 0.
Indeed, on mode 0 timing, computed values are the same with and
without the patch.

The NAND that previously used the mode 0 fallback timing is
working in mode 3 timing.
The read/writes accesses performances (flash_speed tool result)
are the following:
                        mode0       mode3
eraseblock write speed  3220 KiB/s  4511 KiB/s
eraseblock read speed   4491 KiB/s  7529 KiB/s

The NAND where data reads were previously incorrect are correct
and this NAND is also working at mode 3 timing.

Changes v1 to v2:
- Commit log reword
- Added performance details in commit log
- Used #define for TOUTDEL and TINDEL and
  Fixed coding style
- Used max3()
