Subject: mtd: nand: xway: disable module support

From: Hauke Mehrtens <[email protected]>

commit 73529c872a189c747bdb528ce9b85b67b0e28dec upstream.

The xway_nand driver accesses the ltq_ebu_membase symbol which is not exported. This also should not get exported and we should handle the EBU interface in a better way later. This quick fix just deactivated support for building as module.

Fixes 99f2b107924c ("mtd: lantiq: Add NAND support on Lantiq XWAY SoC.")
