mtd: rawnand: Support for sequential cache reads

Add support for sequential cache reads for controllers using the generic
core helpers for their fast read/write helpers.

Sequential reads may reduce the overhead when accessing physically
continuous data by loading in cache the next page while the previous
page gets sent out on the NAND bus.

The ONFI specification provides the following additional commands to
handle sequential cached reads:

* 0x31 - READ CACHE SEQUENTIAL:
  Requires the NAND chip to load the next page into cache while keeping
  the current cache available for host reads.
* 0x3F - READ CACHE END:
  Tells the NAND chip this is the end of the sequential cache read, the
  current cache shall remain accessible for the host but no more
  internal cache loading operation is required.

On the bus, a multi page read operation is currently handled like this:

	00 -- ADDR1 -- 30 -- WAIT_RDY (tR+tRR) -- DATA1_IN
	00 -- ADDR2 -- 30 -- WAIT_RDY (tR+tRR) -- DATA2_IN
	00 -- ADDR3 -- 30 -- WAIT_RDY (tR+tRR) -- DATA3_IN

Sequential cached reads may instead be achieved with:

	00 -- ADDR1 -- 30 -- WAIT_RDY (tR) -- \
		       31 -- WAIT_RDY (tRCBSY+tRR) -- DATA1_IN \
		       31 -- WAIT_RDY (tRCBSY+tRR) -- DATA2_IN \
		       3F -- WAIT_RDY (tRCBSY+tRR) -- DATA3_IN

Below are the read speed test results with regular reads and
sequential cached reads, on NXP i.MX6 VAR-SOM-SOLO in mapping mode with
a NAND chip characterized with the following timings:
* tR: 20 µs
* tRCBSY: 5 µs
* tRR: 20 ns
and the following geometry:
* device size: 2 MiB
* eraseblock size: 128 kiB
* page size: 2 kiB

============= Normal read @ 33MHz =================
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 15633 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: page read speed is 15515 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: 2 page read speed is 15398 KiB/s
===================================================

========= Sequential cache read @ 33MHz ===========
mtd_speedtest: eraseblock read speed is 18285 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: page read speed is 15875 KiB/s
mtd_speedtest: 2 page read speed is 16253 KiB/s
===================================================

We observe an overall speed improvement of about 5% when reading
2 pages, up to 15% when reading an entire block. This is due to the
~14us gain on each additional page read (tR - (tRCBSY + tRR)).
