[PATCH v2 4/8] mtd: Add support for emulated SLC mode on MLC NANDs

[Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Boris Brezillon <bbrezillon@xxxxxxxxxx>

MLC NANDs can be made a bit more reliable if we only program the lower
page of each pair. At least, this solves the paired-pages corruption
issue.
