[PATCH 00/15] Introduce Allwinner H6/H616 NAND controller support

Hi everyone,

This patch series introduce H6/H616 NAND controller support (but not yet
the DMA/MDMA part).

All the work was done on a H616 board with a Kioxia TC58NVG1S3HTA00 NAND
chip.
ECC is supported, as well as scrambling.

H6 SoC has not been tested, but it shares all registers with H616, plus
some registers dedicated to Embedded Crypto Engine that H616 lacks.

This IP has quite some register fields modified from the A10/A23, but in
the end, it works more or less the same.
Main differences with A10/A23 are:
- The need for 2 more clocks (for ECC and MBUS)
- The use of a new USER_DATA_LEN register
- More ECC strengths (44, 52, 68, 72, 76 and 80 bits / 1KB)
- MDMA based on chained buffers
- some registers layouts have changed (mainly due do the stronger ECC)

Patch 1 removes a superfluous call, and is independent from the others.

Patch 2 introduces allwinner,sun50i-h616-nand-controller compatible
in order to differentiate from the A10 and A23.

Patch 3 adds the NAND controller node to sun50i-h616.dtsi

Patches 4-14 are paving the way to the introduction of H616 NAND
controller support.
They are small, without functional change and easier to review than a
big patch.
They move a fixed value (register offset, field mask, SRAM size) into
the struct sunxi_nfc_caps when those values are different on H6/H616.

Patch 15 introduce the support for H6/H616 NAND controller.

Regards,
Richard
