[PATCH] [REPOST] mtd: extend plat_nand for (read|write)_buf

This patch adds (write|read)_buf callbacks to plat_nand.

The NAND on the TS-7800 provisioned by the FPGA allows readw() and 
readl() to be used which gives a 2.5x speed up.  To be able to use this 
from the plat_nand driver a hook for read_buf (and also write_buf whilst 
we are in there) need to be made available.  This patch adds the hook.

This is a repost[1] of a feature asked for before[2], plus other helpful 
patches to plat_nand[3] would be welcomed if at all possible too.
