[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: micron: Fix support for on-die ECC

It looks like the NAND_STATUS_FAIL bit is sticky after an ECC failure,
which leads all READ operations following the failing one to report
an ECC failure. Reset the chip to clear the NAND_STATUS_FAIL bit.

Note that this behavior is not document in the datasheet, but resetting
the chip is the only solution we found to fix the problem.

Peter, Bean,

Can you confirm this behavior, or ask someone in Micron who can confirm
it? Also, if a RESET is actually needed, it would be good to update the
datasheet accordingly. And if that's not the case, can you explain why
the NAND_STATUS_FAIL bit is stuck and how to clear it (I tried a 0x00
command, A.K.A. READ STATUS EXIT, but it does not clear this bit, ERASE
and PROGRAM seem to clear the bit, but that's clearly not the kind of
operation I can do when the user asks for a READ)?

Thanks,

Boris
