From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently mx23_check_transcription_stamp() uses chip->buffers->databuf
as its buffer, which is allocated by nand_scan_tail().
Since commit 720e7ce5 ("mtd: gpmi: remove the nand_scan()"),
mx23_check_transcription_stamp() is called before nand_scan_tail(), which causes
a NULL pointer dereference:

In order to fix this problem, allocate the buffer locally via kzalloc().
Also, as mx23_check_transcription_stamp() can return en error code now, adapt
the logic in mx23_boot_init() to take this into account.

Changes since v1:
- Drop sizeof(*buffer) from size calculatio in kzalloc (Brian Norris)
- Propagate the error if mx23_check_transcription_stamp returns a negative
error code (Brian Norris)
