First of all, this prefetch engine is dedicated for only NAND.
Then, if user wants to 'cancel', say a big write operation; since
there is no 'cancel' command provided by chip (nand), FS has to handle
it. And, I guess, best way will be to complete current chunck of
request (in this case writing of current page or sub-page) and then
cancel any further pending transfer.
And in that case again, prefetch 'reset' will get called for
completion of current page/sub-page operation.
