As part of the process of sharing more code between different NAND
based devices, we need to move all raw NAND related code to the raw/
subdirectory.

A lot of NAND drivers have been derived from other old NAND drivers
which have since then been removed from the Linux tree. When this is
the case, specify when the file the header is referring to has been
removed so that people can find the original implementation more
easily.

During backup mode, the contents of all registers will be cleared as the
SoC will be completely powered down. For a product that boots on NAND
Flash memory, the bootloader will obviously use the related controller
to read the Flash and correct any detected error in the memory, before
handling back control to the kernel's resuming entry point.
But it does not clean the NAND controller registers after use and on its
side the kernel driver expects the error locator to be powered down and
in a clean state. Add a resume hook for the PMECC error locator, and
reset its registers.

This is a complete rewrite of the driver whose main purpose is to
support the new DT representation where the NAND controller node is now
really visible in the DT and appears under the EBI bus. With this new
representation, we can add other devices under the EBI bus without
risking pinmuxing conflicts (the NAND controller is under the EBI
bus logic and as such, share some of its pins with other devices
connected on this bus).
Even though the goal of this rework was not necessarily to add new
features, the new driver has been designed with this in mind. With a
clearer separation between the different blocks and different IP
revisions, adding new functionalities should be easier (we already
have plans to support SMC timing configuration so that we no longer
have to rely on the configuration done by the bootloader/bootstrap).
Also note that we no longer have a custom ->cmdfunc() implementation,
which means we can now benefit from new features added in the core
implementation for free (support for new NAND operations for example).
The last thing that we gain with this rework is support for multi-chips
and multi-dies chips, thanks to the clean NAND controller <-> NAND
devices representation.
During this transition we also dropped support for AVR32 SoCs which
should soon disappear from mainline (removal of the AVR32 arch is
planned for 4.12).
This new driver has been tested on several platforms (at91sam9261,
at91sam9g45, at91sam9x5, sama5d3 and sama5d4) to make sure it did not
introduce regressions, and it's worth mentioning that old bindings are
still supported (which partly explain the positive diffstat).
