Is this last bit a bug in the s/w or a hardware thing? Does this mean
that MMC is not available in the main u-boot image too when NAND support
is enabled?

CONFIG_SUNXI_NAND would be more consistent with the rest I think.

u-boot style is to declare a struct which matches the register layout
and to do something like:
        struct nand_ctrl_foo *mcf = (void *)NANCFLASHC_BASE;

And use writel, set_bits, setclr_bits and friends.

Please also try and give sensible names to all the magic numbers, or at
least include a comment explaining that these are magic numbers derived
from $SOMEWHERE and we don't know what they mean (if that is the case).

Both of these apply to several bits of the code too.

Please call this from somewhere during init e.g. board.c rather than
from nand_read with a latch.

Potentially infinite loop?

There were some similar instances below which had a t/o. Perhaps combine
them all into a helper similar to the dram code's
mctl_await_completion()?

Can we not avoid going via this global temp_buf by setting DMAC_BASE +
0x308 to the correct address on each read?

Ian.
