Actually, this is how it's supposed to work now (when they set
the NAND_ECC_CUSTOM_PAGE_ACCESS flag, drivers are expected to wait for
the program operation to finish and return -EIO if it failed), so you're
all good ;-).

As mentioned in my previous patch, I think you should wait for
INTR__PROGRAM_COMP | INTR__PROGRAM_FAIL here.

	if (irq_status & INTR__PROGRAM_FAIL) {
		dev_err(denali->dev, "page program failed (type = %d)\n",
  			raw_xfer);
		ret = -EIO;
