mtd: rawnand: macronix: serialize OTP access with NAND operations
This commit exposes nand_get_device() and nand_release_device() within the
raw NAND core and uses them to serialize Macronix OTP transactions with
normal NAND operations and suspend handling.

[Severity: Medium]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but doesn't the out_otp
cleanup path clobber ret [1] with the result of
macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_disable()?
drivers/mtd/nand/raw/nand_macronix.c:__macronix_30lfxg18ac_rw_otp() {
...
ret = macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_enable(nand);
if (ret)
goto out_otp;
...
out_otp:
if (ret)
dev_err(&mtd->dev, "failed to perform OTP IO: %i\n", ret);
ret = macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_disable(nand);
if (ret)
dev_err(&mtd->dev, "failed to leave OTP mode after %s\n",
write ? "write" : "read");
nand_deselect_target(nand);
nand_release_device(nand);
return ret;
}
When macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_enable(), nand_prog_page_op(), or
nand_read_page_op() fails and macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_disable() then
succeeds, __macronix_30lfxg18ac_rw_otp() returns 0 without updating
*retlen, causing callers such as mtd_read_user_prot_reg() to treat OTP I/O
errors as 0-byte transfers. Jumping to out_otp when
macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_enable() fails also calls
macronix_30lfxg18ac_otp_disable() even though OTP mode was never enabled.
