commit 02c786627b93b3c3286570f793294816286ff397
Author: Michael Trimarchi <michael@amarulasolutions.com>
Date: Fri Oct 5 09:46:29 2018 +0200

Revert "mtd: rawnand: gpmi: use core timings instead of an
empirical derivation"

This reverts commit b1206122069aadabe1a8c50789277a978aaa4df7.

Change-Id: Icd0ddcd5e3ac7d82932bbf412299cca424cbc571
Jira-Id: WAN-50
Signed-off-by: Michael Trimarchi <michael@amarulasolutions.com>

Revert this one does not fix the problem. Right now I have two revert
this one and

commit 6ab543c1924f77957004994bd6806a9daa45f903 (tag: MMI_004_011_R02)
Author: Michael Trimarchi <michael@amarulasolutions.com>
Date: Fri Oct 5 09:46:44 2018 +0200

Revert "mtd: rawnand: gpmi: support ->setup_data_interface()"

This reverts commit 76e1a0086a0c3276b384f77905345e0fcc886fdd.

Change-Id: I60fb6f874364d1deeda3424d4508553a38ac9b1a
