[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] mtd: nand: nand_base.c: Fix address cycle problem with NAND_CMD_RNDOUT

From: Pekon Gupta <pekon at ti.com>

On some NAND devices (e.g. Hynix H27U2G8F2CTR-BI on Siemens DXR2 /
Draco boards) the SPL issues the following bit-flip error messages:

nand: bit-flip corrected @oob=0
...

This patch makes sure that only the required address cycles are sent
to the NAND chip.

The same issue has been reported by Bacem Daassi:

"
The issue is mainly due to a NAND protocol violation in the omap driver since
the Random Data Output command (05h-E0h) expects to see only the column address
that should be addressed within the already loaded read page into the read
buffer. Only 2 address cycles with ALE active should be provided between the
05h and E0h commands. The Page read command expects the full address footprint
(2bytes for column address + 3bytes for row address), but once the page is
loaded into the read buffer, Random Data Output should be used with only 2bytes
for column address.
