[PATCH 1/2] mtd: nand: Check ONFI timings have been acked by the chip

Choosing ONFI timings when ->onfi_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 ->onfi_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 do not update the parameter page once a timing mode has
been selected. This issue 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.
