When trying to autodetect the ECC and randomization configurations, the
driver starts with a randomization disabled and no seeds.
In this case, the number of seeds is obviously 0, and the randomize boolean
is set to false.
However, the logic that retrieves the seed for a given page offset will
blindly use the number of seeds, without testing if the randomization is
enabled, basically doing a modulo by 0.
As it turns out, the libgcc in the common toolchain returns 0 here, which
was our expected value in such a case, and why we would not detect it.
However, U-Boot's libgcc will for some reason return from the function
instead, resulting in an error to load the U-Boot binary in the SPL.

NAND chips are supposed to expose their capabilities through advanced
mechanisms like READID, ONFI or JEDEC parameter tables. While those
methods are appropriate for the bootloader itself, it's way to
complicated and takes too much space to fit in the SPL.
Replace those mechanisms by a dumb 'trial and error' mechanism.
With this new approach we can get rid of the fixed config list that was
used in the sunxi NAND SPL driver.

Split the 'load page' and 'read page' logic in 2 different functions so
we can later load the page and test different ECC configs without the
penalty of reloading the same page in the NAND cache.
We also move common setup to a dedicated function (nand_apply_config()) to
avoid rewriting the same values in NFC registers each time we read a page.
These new functions are passed a pointer to an nfc_config struct to limit
the number of parameters.

check_value_xxx() helpers are using a 1ms delay between each test, which
can be quite long for some operations (like a page read on an SLC NAND).
Since we don't have anything to do but to poll this register, reduce the
delay between each test to 1us.
While we're at it, rename the max_number_of_retries parameters and the
MAX_RETRIES macro into timeout_us and DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_US to reflect that
we're actually waiting a given amount of time and not only a number of
retries.

The sunxi SPL NAND controller driver supports use 'BootROM'-like configs,
that is, configs where the ECC bytes and real data are interleaved in the
page instead of putting ECC bytes in the OOB area.
Doing that has several drawbacks:
- since you're interleaving data and ECC bytes you can't use the whole page
otherwise you might override the bad block marker with non-FF bytes.
- to solve the bad block marker problem, the ROM code supports partially
using the page, but this introduces a huge penalty both in term of read
speed and NAND memory usage. While this is fine for rather small
binaries(like the SPL one which is at maximum 24KB large), it becomes
non-negligible for the bootloader image (several hundred of KB).
- auto-detection of the page size is not reliable (this is in my opinion
the biggest problem). If you get the page size wrong, you'll end up
reading data at a different offset than what was specified by the caller
and the reading may succeed (if valid data were written at this address).
For all those reasons I think it's wiser to completely remove support for
'syndrome' configs. If we ever need to support it again, then I'd recommend
specifying all the config parameters through Kconfig options.

We know when u-boot is written to its own partition, in this case the
layout always is:
eb 0 spl
eb 1 spl-backup
eb 2 u-boot
eb 3 u-boot-backup
eb: erase-block
So if we cannot load u-boot from its primary offset we know exactly where
to look for it.

We only ever use syndrome mode for the partitions which contain the SPL,
as that is required for the BROM to be able to read the SPL.
Instead of using some arbritray limit for deciding whether or not to
use syndrome, be smart and check if u-boot-dtb.bin is directly behind
the SPL, if it is not then it is on its own partition and we should not
use syndrome.
Note the reason why we only use syndrome mode for the SPL is because it
comeswith weaker randomization, introducing a risk for more bit errors,
so we want to avoid it when possible.

The BROM does not care / use bad page markings, instead it deals with
any bad pages in the first erase-block by simply trying to load "boot0"
from the next erase-block.
This commit implements the same strategy for the sunxi spl nand code,
allowing it to boot from the backup boot partition when the main boot
partition is bad (tested by erasing the main boot partition).

Auto detect the nand configuration parameters, like the BROM does.
This allows us to get rid of various Kconfig settings, and is
necessary to support generic boards like the mk802 which have seen
many production runs with different nands.
The full blown u-boot/kernel nand driver uses the nand id to determine
this info, for the SPL we do as the BROM does and simply try a few
standard configs.
Note the table only contains configs which are known to actually be used,
rather then all the configs the BROM tries. This means that it may need
to be updated in the future as we add support for nand on more boards.

In syndrome mode we set the NFC_SEQ bit in the command register, so the

not just CONFIG_NAND_SUNXI_SPL_ECC_PAGE_SIZE.

nand_spl_load_image() always gets called with either CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
or spl_image.load_addr as destination, both of which are properly aligened,
and have plenty of space for "overshooting" up to
CONFIG_NAND_SUNXI_SPL_ECC_PAGE_SIZE bytes, as we read in
CONFIG_NAND_SUNXI_SPL_ECC_PAGE_SIZE bytes chunks.
This saves CONFIG_NAND_SUNXI_SPL_ECC_PAGE_SIZE (typically 1k) in
SPL size, which is a lot on the total 24k we have.
Note this changes the dma destination from SRAM to DRAM, so this patch
updates the DDMA_DST_TYPE bits in the dma controller cfg0 reg accordingly.
