Just diving the code, I found the atmel-nand code use this function to 
transfer write these buffer to NFC sram.
And the NFC sram is not io space.
Also there should has no issue in barriers as it is in a SRAM.

So I think right way is use memcpy function to replace the 
ioread32/iowrite32. Since we use them for SRAM transfer not IO.
I'll prepare a new patch which do above replace.
