Subject: [PATCH] mtd: rawnand: qcom: fix memory corruption that causes panic

This patch fixes a memory corruption that occurred in the nand_scan() path for Hynix nand device.

On boot, for Hynix nand device will panic at a weird place:

The problem is that the nand_scan()'s qcom_nand_attach_chip callback is updating the nandc->max_cwperpage from 1 to 4 or 8 based on page size. This causes the sg_init_table of clear_bam_transaction() in the driver's qcom_nandc_command() to memset much more than what was initially allocated by alloc_bam_transaction().

This patch will update nandc->max_cwperpage 1 to 4 or 8 based on page size in qcom_nand_attach_chip call back after freeing the previously allocated memory for bam txn as per nandc->max_cwperpage = 1 and then again allocating bam txn as per nandc->max_cwperpage = 4 or 8 based on page size in qcom_nand_attach_chip call back itself.
