mtd: rawnand: gpmi: use core timings instead of an empirical derivation

GPMI driver timings derivation looks very empirical and does not use
the known timings that the core wants to use with the NAND chip, by
using local defined constants that have no special meaning from the
outside world.

Simplify the way all of this is computed and use the NAND core's SDR
timings.

Integrity of the reads/writes has been checked with nandbiterrs, speed
improvements with flash_speed on a Freescale i.MX6 DualLite/Solo SABRE
Automotive Board. Measures are below, variations of less than 150kiB/s
between tests are common and then not significant. Speeds using mode 5
are the same, while speeds using mode 0 are quite improved (+40/50%
from non-optimal computation).

-	 * The clock's period affects the sample delay in a number of ways:
-	 *
-	 * (1) The NFC HAL tells us the maximum clock period the sample delay
-	 *     DLL can tolerate. If the clock period is greater than half that
-	 *     maximum, we must configure the DLL to be driven by half periods.
-	 *
-	 * (2) We need to convert from an ideal sample delay, in ns, to a
-	 *     "sample delay factor," which the NFC uses. This factor depends on
-	 *     whether we're driving the DLL with full or half periods.
-	 *     Paraphrasing the reference manual:
-	 *
-	 *         AD = SDF x 0.125 x RP
-	 *
-	 * where:
-	 *
-	 *     AD   is the applied delay, in ns.
-	 *     SDF  is the sample delay factor, which is dimensionless.
-	 *     RP   is the reference period, in ns, which is a full clock period
-	 *          if the DLL is being driven by full periods, or half that if
-	 *          the DLL is being driven by half periods.
-	 *
-	 * Let's re-arrange this in a way that's more useful to us:
-	 *
-	 *                        8
-	 *         SDF  =  AD x ----
-	 *                       RP
-	 *
-	 * The reference period is either the clock period or half that, so this
-	 * is:
-	 *
-	 *                        8       AD x DDF
-	 *         SDF  =  AD x -----  =  --------
-	 *                      f x P        P
-	 *
-	 * where:
-	 *
-	 *       f  is 1 or 1/2, depending on how we're driving the DLL.
-	 *       P  is the clock period.
-	 *     DDF  is the DLL Delay Factor, a dimensionless value that
-	 *          incorporates all the constants in the conversion.
-	 *
-	 * DDF will be either 8 or 16, both of which are powers of two. We can
-	 * reduce the cost of this conversion by using bit shifts instead of
-	 * multiplication or division. Thus:
-	 *
-	 *                 AD << DDS
-	 *         SDF  =  ---------
-	 *                     P
-	 *
-	 *     or
-	 *
-	 *         AD  =  (SDF >> DDS) x P
-	 *
