[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/2] iMX6 SPL NAND flash detection fixes

While working on different iMX6 platforms, I've encountered some issue with a couple of NAND device while booting from SPL.
It seems that there's a NAND protocol violation in ONFI detection: I try a naive fix, which works only for LP NAND. However, AFAIK, all the mxs_nand_spl code is minimalistic and assume it's working with a LP NAND. A more generic approach will have a bigger impact and requires more tests.
I've also changed mxs_flash_ident() code so, when legacy full-ident detection is enabled, this one is used only as fall back when ONFI detection fails.
This is closer to standard MTD implementation than the previous solution, where ONFI and full-ident detection where mutually exclusive.
This has been originally developed on old v2017.03 but ported on current master.
Kind Regards,
Andrea Scian

mxs_nand_command() implementation assume that it's working with a LP NAND, which is a common case nowadays and thus uses two bytes for column address.
However this is wrong for NAND_CMD_READID and NAND_CMD_PARAM, which expects only one byte of column address, even for LP NANDs. This leads to ONFI detection problem with some NAND manufacturer (like Winbond) but not with others (like Samsung and Spansion)
We fix this with a simple workaround to avoid the 2nd byte column address for those two commands.
Also align the code with nand_base to support 16 bit devices.
Tested on an iMX6SX device with: * Winbond W29N04GVSIAA * Spansion S34ML04G100TF100 * Samsung K9F4G08U00

AFAIK, this is still an open problem on current master This patch has not been integrated and the code is the same as the one that have the original issue

As far as I see on patchwork, patch was not assigned to any maintainer - I have now assigned to Scott (as NAND maintainer).

We have partially tested on imx28 but we have other problem on it. I will give test-by when everything is working correctly

This updates mxs_flash_ident() to always use ONFI NAND detection and, if enabled using CONFIG_SPL_NAND_IDENT, fallback into legacy full NAND ids detection if ONFI fails.
This allows to have a single binary to support ONFI and non-ONFI NAND, without the need to always use legacy full NAND ids detection.
