Advanced SPI-NAND chips are capable of reading data much faster by
leveraging DTR support. This support extends to dual and quad
configurations.

Create macros defining all possible read from cache DTR variants:
- SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_DTR_OP
- SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_X2_DTR_OP
- SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_X4_DTR_OP
- SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_DUALIO_DTR_OP
- SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_QUADIO_DTR_OP

While the SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_FAST_OP macro is supposed to be
able to run at the flash highest supported frequency, it is not the case
of the regular read from cache, which may be limited in terms of maximum
frequency. Add an optional argument to this macro, which will be used to
set the maximum frequency, if any.

<content type='text'>
So far, the SPINAND_PAGE_READ_FROM_CACHE_OP macro was taking a first
argument, "fast", which was inducing the possibility to support higher
bus frequencies than with the normal (slower) read from cache
alternative. In practice, without frequency change on the bus, this was
likely without effect, besides perhaps allowing another variant of the
same command, that could run at the default highest speed. If we want to
support this fully, we need to add a frequency parameter to the slowest
command. But before we do that, let's drop the "fast" boolean from the
macro and duplicate it, this will further help supporting having
different frequencies allowed for each variant.

The change is also of course propagated to all users. It has the nice
effect to have all macros aligned on the same pattern.

SkyHigh S35ML01G300, S35ML01G301, S35ML02G300, and S35ML04G300 are 1Gb,
2Gb, and 4Gb SLC SPI NAND flash family. This family of devices has
on-die ECC which parity bits are stored to hidden area. In this family
the on-die ECC cannot be disabled so raw access needs to be prevented.

SkyHigh spinand device has ECC enable bit in configuration register but
it must be always enabled. If ECC is disabled, read and write ops
results in undetermined state. For such devices, a way to avoid raw
access is needed.

Introduce SPINAND_NO_RAW_ACCESS flag to advertise the device does not
support raw access. In such devices, the on-die ECC engine ops returns
error to I/O request in raw mode.

Checking and marking BBM need to be cared as special case, by adding
fallback mechanism that tries read/write OOB with ECC enabled.

<title>mtd: spi-nand: Add continuous read support</title>

<id>631cfdd0520d19b7f4fc13b834fd9c8b46c6dbac</id>
<content type='text'>
A regular page read consist in:
- Asking one page of content from the NAND array to be loaded in the
  chip's SRAM,
- Waiting for the operation to be done,
- Retrieving the data (I/O phase) from the chip's SRAM.

When reading several sequential pages, the above operation is repeated
over and over. There is however a way to optimize these accesses, by
enabling continuous reads. The feature requires the NAND chip to have a
second internal SRAM area plus a bit of additional internal logic to
trigger another internal transfer between the NAND array and the second
SRAM area while the I/O phase is ongoing. Once the first I/O phase is
done, the host can continue reading more data, continuously, as the chip
will automatically switch to the second SRAM content (which has already
been loaded) and in turns trigger the next load into the first SRAM area
again.

From an instruction perspective, the command op-codes are different, but
the same cycles are required. The only difference is that after a
continuous read (which is stopped by a CS deassert), the host must
observe a delay of tRST. However, because there is no guarantee in Linux
regarding the actual state of the CS pin after a transfer (in order to
speed-up the next transfer if targeting the same device), it was
necessary to manually end the continuous read with a configuration
register write operation.

Continuous reads have two main drawbacks:
* They only work on full pages (column address ignored)
* Only the main data area is pulled, out-of-band bytes are not
  accessible. Said otherwise, the feature can only be useful with on-die
  ECC engines.

Performance wise, measures have been performed on a Zynq platform using
Macronix SPI-NAND controller with a Macronix chip (based on the
flash_speed tool modified for testing sequential reads):
- 1-1-1 mode: performances improved from +3% (2-pages) up to +10% after
              a dozen pages.
- 1-1-4 mode: performances improved from +15% (2-pages) up to +40% after
              a dozen pages.

This series is based on a previous work from Macronix engineer Jaime
Liao.

E.g. ESMT chips will return an identification code with a length of 5
bytes. In order to prevent ambiguity, flash chips would actually need to
return IDs that are up to 17 or more bytes long due to JEDEC's
continuation scheme. I understand that if a manufacturer ID is located
in bank N of JEDEC's database (there are currently 16 banks), N - 1
continuation codes (7Fh) need to be added to the identification code
(comprising of manufacturer ID and device ID). However, most flash chip
manufacturers don't seem to implement this (correctly).
