The NAND SPL framework uses a longer list of macro definitions (please
check the source code, if you wish):
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE
* CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS

All of them in the case of large page NAND device are found in
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/497299/ change and the given values
are common for all LPC32xx boards utilizing NAND SLC.

Generally I would say that not only the macro related to NAND SPL
framework should be moved, but also all the macro dictated by the
hardware constraints, e.g. ECC size and bytes, and all the macro shared
with other platform users like operating systems, this includes for
instance OOB layout and bad block position in OOB.

In other words this list includes everything common among all possible
LPC32xx boards with NAND SLC controller enabled, and hopefully this
change addresses all such macro. If you find any inconsistencies or
missing data in the change, please let me know.

This is fine with me, I would appreciate, if you can rebase 2/5 and 3/5
from your last series on top of this change, it should be guaranteed
that the compilation is not broken for devkit3250 board in assumption
that all my previously sent patches are applied.
