[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v3 05/10] mtd: nand: pxa3xx-nand: fix random command timeouts

From: Ofer Heifetz <oferh at marvell.com>

When 2 commands are submitted in a row, and the second is very quick,
the completion of the second command might never come. This happens
especially if the second command is quick, such as a status read
after an erase
