[PATCHv4 0/1] Set FORCE_CSX bit when arbitration between NAND and NOR is enabled

Note: I've picked this up from Kalyan to try and get things into shape for
submission upstream.

When the arbitration between NOR and NAND flash is enabled
the <FORCE_CSX> field bit[21] in the Data Flash Control Register
needs to be set to 1 according to guidleine GL-5830741
mentioned in Marvell Errata document MV-S501377-00, Rev. D.

Set the FORCE_CSX bit in NDCR for ARMADA370 variants as the arbitration
is always enabled by default. This change does not apply for pxa3xx
variants because FORCE_CSX bit does not exist/reserved on the NFCv1.

Ran the "flash_speed" tool on NAND flash on a board with
Armada-xp based SoC which uses only one NAND chip and not using
the arbiter. There is no regression or speed penalty
introduced due to this change.
