[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/1] mtd: nand: fix bug writing 1 byte less than page size

nand_do_write_ops() determines if it is writing a partial page with the
formula:
	part_pagewr = (column || writelen < (mtd->writesize - 1))

When 'writelen' is exactly 1 byte less than the NAND page size the formula
equates to zero, so the code doesn't process it as a partial write, although
it should.
As a consequence the function remains in the while(1) loop with 'writelen'
becoming 0xffffffff and iterating until the watchdog timeout triggers.

To reproduce the issue on a NAND with 2K page (0x800):
	=> nand erase.part <partition>
	=> nand write $loadaddr <partition> 7ff
