This patch fixes a memory corruption that occurred in the
nand_scan() path for Hynix nand device.

On boot, for Hynix nand device will panic at a weird place:

The problem is that the nand_scan()'s qcom_nand_attach_chip callback
is updating the nandc->max_cwperpage from 1 to 4.This causes the
sg_init_table of clear_bam_transaction() in the driver's
qcom_nandc_command() to memset much more than what was initially
allocated by alloc_bam_transaction().
Thanks for investigating!

This patch will update nandc->max_cwperpage 1 to 4 after nand_scan()
returns, and remove updating nandc->max_cwperpage from
qcom_nand_attach_chip call back.
The fix does not look right, as far as I understand, this should be properly handled during the attach phase. That is where we have all information about the chip and do the configuration for this chip.

If you update max_cwperpage there you should probably update other internal variables that depend on it as well.

   Currently we are updating max_cwperpage  in qcom_nand_attach_chip(), but we are seeing issue for Hynix nand device since nand_scan_tail() is getting called after nand_attach() and in nand_attach() we are updating max_cwperpage to 4 or 8 based on page size.

    From nand_scan_tail() there is a call for nand_manufacturer_init() , specific to Hynix nand read_id is getting called that's why we are seeing this issue only for Hynix nand device. Read id sequence as below

   hynix_nand_has_valid_jedecid()

                |

   nand_readid_op()

             |

 qcom_nandc_command()

            |

pre_command()

          |

clear_bam_transaction()   --> In this call we are doing sg_init_table() which is calling memset() based on max_cwperpage.Since initially we have allocated bam transaction as per max_cwperpage =1 and , since nand_chip_attach() updated max_cwperpage,  now we are doing memset as per max_cwperpage = 4 or 8.


So anyway we have to updated max_cwperpage after nand_scan() call only.  Since there is no other dependency on max_cwperpage in nand_attach_chip() and we are using this in bam_alloc() and bam_clear().
