BAM is DMA controller on QCOM ipq platforms, BAM mode on NAND driver is set by writing BAM_MODE_EN bit on NAND_CTRL register. NAND_CTRL is an operational register and in BAM mode operational registers are read only. So, before enabling BAM mode by writing the NAND_CTRL register, check if BAM mode was already enabled by the bootloader, and enable BAM mode only if it is not enabled already.
