Hi Miquel,

Thanks for the work on this, happy to see the new interface is moving
forward. Some comments below.

Shouldn't we add nand_change_read_column_op here?

We currently ignore NAND_CMD_SEQIN in ->cmdfunc anyway, so I think this
change would not even be necessary here.

This is a NAND controller which will benefit from the new interface. I
plan to convert the driver to the new interface, maybe I manage to do
that soon so we have a second driver making use of the new interface.
