[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: raw: atmel: Respect tAR, tCLR in read setup timing

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin at siemens.com>

Having setup time 0 violates tAR, tCLR of some chips, for instance
TOSHIBA TC58NVG2S3ETAI0 cannot be detected successfully (first ID byte
being read duplicated, i.e. 98 98 dc 90 15 76 14 03 instead of
98 dc 90 15 76 ...).

Atmel Application Notes postulated 1 cycle NRD_SETUP without explanation
[1], but it looks more appropriate to just calculate setup time properly.

v2:
- Cc'ed stable
- reformatted atmel_smc_cs_conf_set_setup() call
- rebased onto mtd/fixes
