This can cause a DMA warning.

I suggest to add a hook such as for nand_chip{}:
	chip->read_retry(..)

Different nand chips fill different hook.

For Micron, fill it with micron_read_retry();
for Toshiba, fill it with a toshiab_read_retry();
For Hynix, fill it with hynix_read_retry().

I am wondar if we should add a file for the read-retry in the
drivers/mtd/nand folder.
